Georgia Beaches

[Lynnie81]

The coast of Georgia stretches approximately 100 miles between the Savannah and St. Marys Rivers. Along this coast line you have several beaches to choose from. The most popular of the Georgia Beaches seem to be Jekyll Island, St Simons, Tybee and Cumberland.

Jekyll Island is popular with families and business travellers, offering so much to do like playing golf, visiting the beaches, using the bike paths and Summer Waves Water Park. Also there is the National Historic Landmark District which takes you back to show you how the families lived in the Victorian era. The city of Brunswick, the Marshes of Glynn, and other islands, including the larger St. Simons Island, are nearby. Its beaches are visited by people on vacation as well as the locals. Guided tours of the Landmark Historic District are available. The district consists of a number of buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The area is also full of wildlife, including many different mammals and reptiles living in the island's inland marshes.

St.Simons Island has glorious beaches that can stretch out for hundreds of yards at low tide. This is one of the busiest beaches in Georgia and Coast Cottages is located at the largest part of the St. Simons beaches, just south of East Beach and the old Coast Guard Station. This is the finest beach on the island. The high tide provides a great area for body surfing and the low tide expands the beach to couple of hundred yards wide. On the beach, under the gold umbrella, just a three-minute walk from Atlantus, Barry’s Beach Service rents catamarans, sailboats, kayaks, boogie boards and windsurfing boards. Sailboat rides and lessons are also available. The Fishing Pier invites you to take a stroll, enjoy gentle sea breezes, watch pelicans diving for dinner, spot the dolphins in the ocean and fish for free.


Tybee Island Beach lies in Chatham County near the city of Savannah.The small island, which has long been a quiet getaway for the residents of Savannah, has become a popular vacation spot with tourists from outside the metropolitan area. On the beach is a stunning pier which features a large pavillion. Besides its spectacular view and great fishing location, it's also a meeting place used for dances, musical performances and special events. On the premises are picnic tables, snack bar, and public restrooms. Various festivals and events held here throughout the year. As well as the beach visitors may also like to take a look around the Tybee Island Lighthouse.

Cumberland Beach – Cumberland Island is Georgia’s Barrier Islands. A ferry to the island runs twice a day nearby St Marys. Cumberland Island is part of a national seashore managed by the National Park Service. There are limits on how many people can be on the island at any one time: up to 300 visitors per day, and campers may stay only 7 nights. Visitors cannot bring vehicles or bikes on the ferry, and there are no paved roads or trails. Bikes are available for rent at the Sea Camp Dock and bicycle rentals are on a first come first serve basis. The eastern seashore is 17.5 miles (28 km) of continuous beach. All food, ice and supplies must be shipped from the mainland, as there are no stores on the island. Because of the way the island is run, the beaches are extremely well kept and more secluded than you may find on the mainland in Georgia. This would perhaps be the perfect place from someone looking for a more peaceful beach while on vacation.

This is just my opinion but we like the beach at Amelia Island and the one at Tybee far better than the ones at St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, though St Simons has a nice park called the Neptune Park Fun Zone that you'd really enjoy with the family.

also, if you stay a few days at Tybee you can take day trip to Savannah where you can enjoy a bit of shopping and picnicking in the parks.

The beaches of Georgia are a few hours from Atlanta, so you could fly into Atlanta and rent a car. But it would be quicker to fly into Charleston, South Carolina, or Jacksonville, Florida. I really love the beaches on St. Simons Island. I visited there when I was in high school, and I still have a picture of the beach hanging on my wall. It's lovely and so was the beach.
