Visiting Southern and Coastal Georgia

Head towards the coast of southern Georgia – have a blast in the Peach State. Stretching from Cairo to Savannah, and sprinkle in the coastal cities and beach towns, southern Georgia is a great spring and summer destination. Southern Georgia has a rich, early American history – check it out at the Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation Historic Site, in Brunswick. St. Simmons Island features the Maritime Museum at the Historic Coast Guard Station. In Thomasville, continue your historic voyage of southern Georgia with a trip to Thomas County Museum of History. Spring and summer also yield excellent golfing weather – be sure to play 18 at Sea Island Golf Club.

Spring in Savannah is premier destination for travelers seeking coastal getaway, or a scenic landscape to drive through, while heading to St. Simmons Island. Be sure to explore the largest National Historic Landmark District in America with a visit to Historic Savannah. You can try everything from the Paula Deen Tour, to an exploration of Forsyth Park, Savannah’s largest. In late March, make time to check out the Savannah Music Festival. Late March is also a great time for the Savannah Tour of Homes and Gardens. Celebrating it’s 77th year, join other guests as you take guided – or self-guided, if you’re feeling so cavalier – tours of private residences and gardens in historic neighborhoods throughout Savannah. Make the most of your visit to the Hostess City of the South.

Head south into Kingsland, just off I-95 in the far southeast of Georgia, it’s just inland of the Atlantic Ocean. Spring visitors are just minutes from the coast, and can take full advantage of all it’s splendor. Don’t miss the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, or the Bancroft Sail Memorial. Nearby, check out Okefenokee Adventures, a 90-minute boat tour of the Okefenokee Swamp. Bask in the glory of southern Georgia’s spring weather while playing 18 holes at Laurel Island Links, a Davis Love III designed golf course. And for the thrill-seeker, look for The Jumping Place, The Art of the Dive – get out and try your first sky dive this spring in southern Georgia.

To the west of Kingsland is Valdosta, home to Valdosta State University and John W. Saunders Memorial Park. Known as the Azalea City, because it grows in such abundance around the city, Valdosta hosts the annual Azalea Festival in March. Later in March, make plans to visit Wild Adventures Theme Park, just 10 miles south of downtown Valdosta. Full of rides, attractions and plenty of dinning and shopping, Wild Adventures is open throughout the spring and summer.
