St. Simons Island is a great place to relax and be outdoors. While exploring the island, there are many activities to choose from, including collecting seashells and biking during tides beneath the boardwalk at Gould’s Inlet. Tree spirits carved into tree trunks there represent sailors who died at sea.
3. Cumberland Island

If you want to get away and smell the salt in the air, head to southern Georgia’s Cumberland Island National Seashore. Cumberland Island has pristine beaches, preserved forests, and sugar-white sands. You can hike to the Dungeness estate ruins, or comb the beach for fossilized shark teeth. Camp at one of five campsites, and spend the night gazing at stars.
