Cumberland Island: Paradise Untouched!

Cumberland Island is a rare untouched paradise for those that love nature as it was years ago. In the 1960's, development along the Ga. coast was booming and an effort to save the island was launched. Finally in 1972 legislation was passed to make this unique preserve a national seashore. Public access is limited and reservations are necessary to explore the island. Ferry service leaves from St. Marys three times daily for camping, hiking and exploring the island's history. You will see wild horses, an abundance of coastal birds, white beaches, palmetto forests, majestic live oaks and the ruins of Dungeness, a Carnegie estate from the 1880s. Come and explore the Golden Isles from Savannah to Jacksonville where huge expanses of marshland is punctuated by small islands and a unique history with a colorful past.
