4 Must-have Experiences on the Georgia Coast

The Georgia Coast harbors an incredible blend of scenic island landscapes, pristine wilderness and never-ending adventure. Here are four experiences that make the most of a trip to Georgia's coast.

Camping

Stay close to the sea at coastal camps for a magical experience. Enjoy your own private island in a luxurious glamping tent at Little Raccoon Key. Go wild in Cumberland Island's secluded backcountry, or park the RV at family-friendly Jekyll Island Campground. For more coastal camping tips, check out this Guide to camping on Cumberland Island.

Biking

Rent some beach cruisers or bring your bikes because pedal power is the best way to get around St. Simons and Jekyll Islands. Together, the islands' bike trails and paved paths traverse more than 50 miles of maritime forest, marshland boardwalks and historic districts with incredible views. 

Beaches

No coastal adventure would be complete without a day at the beach. Georgia's barrier islands have unique, ever-changing coastlines as dramatic tides shift the sands. Notable beaches include St. Simons' East Beach, stretching along the oceanside of the island, and Jekyll Island's Glory and Driftwood beaches, both of which have been featured in award-winning films and TV shows.

Diving

Experience the beauty beneath the surface exploring the many reefs located off the coast of Georgia. Georgia's natural reefs are based on rock outcroppings, and the more numerous artificial reefs support natural, biological communities. St. Simons Island Dive Center offers vacation trips, gear rental, snorkeling and scuba lessons with certified instructors.
