For luch, Kellys Courtyard cafe -evidently highly rated on Trip Advisor.
They do not recommend a place called Merge.
The bike trails around the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort were nice. The resort rents bikes.
Will check on the kayaking thing. But I do remember the beaches around Amelia Island State Park being really nice. A bit south, though.
It will be a few days before I can write a proper update but we did have dinner at Cafe Karibo as well as a drink at Karibrew. The food was excellent, the beer, not so much. I had a red ale and a wheat ale both of which tasted overwhelmingly of rye.
Kelley's is closed. Timoti's has the space and appears to be associated with Karibo.
We had dinner at Ciao on Centre and loved it. One of the best meals of the year. And we had 2 dinners at Espana (no tilde) on 5th I think - enjoyed the first so much we went back for Mrs BamaVol's birthday dinner. Good tapas and excellent paella. The wine was pretty good too. Had lunch at Brett's on the harbor and enjoyed that too.
