Sliders Seaside Grill in Fernandina Beach is a local institution, consistently rated among Amelia Island’s top music venues. For evening music under the stars, or a family-friendly beach outing, it’s a place that feels both classic and comfortably familiar.
The outdoor stage is steps from your table and the surf, adding to the relaxed coastal energy. The live music draws a steady crowd, especially in the summer. Seating is firstcome, first-served, so if you want a prime spot by the water and the stage, plan to arrive early.
July’s music line-up includes
King Tide, a well-known country cover band, will perform on Saturday, July 12 from 6 pm to 10 pm. Locals recommend mid-week acts like Nigel Davis, and Vibe RW, typically hitting the sand stage on Wednesday evenings.
These performances blend well with the beach setting, strumming guitar, vocals carried by the ocean breeze, and chairs in the sand. Country tunes, acoustic sets, classic rock, and little R&B can be heard by the sea. Sliders always delivers seaside soundtracks to match the rolling waves.
Directly on the sand, Sliders Seaside Grill has been a local favorite since adopting its iconic name around 1980. Originally opened in 1945 as the Seaside Inn, a classic American roadhouse serving breakfast and seafood to travelers, this oceanfront gem evolved through various identities before becoming Sliders, offering live entertainment and seafood.
Today, Sliders is Fernandina’s only true oceanfront live music tiki bar and grill, complete with beach-level dining, bar swings, and a playground on the sand.
The menu is Gulf-coast fresh shrimp, crab cakes, oysters, tacos, with beachy burgers and their signature cocktails like the Sliders Punch.
