Cumberland Island National Seashore

Cumberland Island, Georgia's southernmost barrier island, is situated three miles off the mainland and boasts a diversity of ecosystems including saltwater marshes, mud flats, tidal creeks, maritime forests, white-sand beaches, and dunes. The island, three miles wide and 18 miles long, is a bit larger than Manhattan. It is a lot less crowded too: Cumberland Island limits visitation to 300 people per day. You must make a six-month advance reservation to gain access to the island. Read More
