Fort Clinch is a 19th-century brick fortress begun in 1847 after the end of the Second Seminole War. It was named in honor of General Duncan Lamont Clinch, important figure in the First and Second Seminole Wars. The only battle to occur at Clinch was when Union troops recaptured the fort in 1862 after Confederate forces seized control the previous year. Fort Clinch served as the base of Union operations in the area throughout the Civil War. It is located inside Fort Clinch State Park. The park offers camping and access to beautiful beaches! I highly recommend!

Fort Clinch was built to protect the coastline of the United States of America. It is a third system fortification style, built of thick masonry walls and provided the ultimate design for Fort structures from 1812 to 1868. It is one of the finest examples of a third system fortification in existence and is listed on the national register of historic places. Very interesting indeed. The park offers beach access, biking, campgrounds, fishing, hiking, showers, swimming, observation points, parking, picnic areas, playground, Visitor Center, and a group camping site. You can tour the facilities of the fort at your own pace as it's a self-guided tour. They also have a guided nature tour every Saturday. Enjoy.

Nice place.. Nice walking / bike trails, helmets required on bike trails. Nice beaches in the park also. It cost me $6 to go in and to tour the fort it costs extra... Also nice camping area for those with motor homes that electric and water hook ups..
