The Amaryllis is a freighter wreck off Palm Beach, Florida, and one of the wrecks in the Mizpah Corridor. She ran aground on 7 September 1965 during Hurricane Betsy, and a local fishing club towed most of the wreck offshore and sank it as an artificial reef in 1968.
She lies on a barren sand bottom, roughly 300 yards from the Mizpah and the patrol craft PC 1174, with a rock pile path leading to her from PC 1174. Only the hull and lower decks remain of this large ship, in about 90 ft (27 m) of water, and the current is medium and usually runs north.
Fish gather around her, and the interior holds a good collection of spiny oysters. Sea turtles are commonly found on the wreck, and a reef shark sometimes swims by in the distance.
