Coastal Georgia at a Glance
Coastal Georgia, located in southeastern Georgia,
stretches along roughly one hundred miles of Atlantic coastline. Amidst the
towering live oaks, tall pines and magnolias lies an area rich in history and
southern hospitality that is epitomized by its quaint village life and coastal
barrier islands. St.
Marys, reputed to be the second oldest city in the United
States, remains one of the best-kept secrets in Coastal Georgia. This small
coastal village is known as the Gateway to Cumberland
Island - an unspoiled island accessible only by ferry, where it is the wildlife
that reigns supreme. Coastal Georgia's most historic city, Savannah,
is known for its famous riverfront, cobblestone streets and beautifully landscaped
squares with period architecture. Complete your trip to Savannah by taking a
riverboat cruise or by joining a walking tour. One of the city's more unique
attractions is the Hampton
Lillibridge House, said to be one of the most haunted houses in the United
States. Tours are available from local vendors.
