8. Cumberland Island, Georgia
You’ll find Georgia’s largest barrier island just off the state’s southeast coast. This 10,000-acre area of unspoiled wilderness is also one of the Northern Hemisphere’s natural habitats. Here amidst wide marshes, salt-sprayed forests, stunning beaches, and wild wetlands you may see loggerhead turtles nesting and wild horses roaming free, gracefully grazing on dune grass.
9. Jekyll Island, Georgia
This isle is another natural haven and also the very most southerly of the state’s Golden Isles. Veteran visitors recommend the renowned Jekyll Island Club Resort which harkens back to the late 1800s. If you’re in need of a scenic expanse of sand, the peaceful place known as Driftwood Beach wins hands down. It has been called one of America’s most romantic beaches.
