Talbot Is park is in the middle between Amelia Is and Jacksonville. Getting there from I295 you will pass several restaurants, the ferry and a must stop the plantation and you will be 15 min from the park. If you go north , you are 20 min away from Amelia Is with wonderful shops and restaurants. Have fun!
