Outside Downtown, Savannah, Georgia
From the barrier islands facing the Atlantic, to an extensive wildlife refuge through which the Savannah River flows, the area surrounding Savannah is worth exploring for a day, a week, or a month. There are antebellum forts, plantations, lighthouses, beaches and exquisite little riverfront villages shaded by live oaks.
You can explore a canal system that brought cotton from Georgia鈥檚 interior to the Port of Savannah prior to the Civil War. Rent a boat and visit an uninhabited coastal island.
