From Albany to Dublin, Thomasville to Savannah, South Georgia is home to small towns with big heart. History buffs will love the museums, churches and farms; foodies will love the locally grown selections at restaurants and markets. The love of the outdoors is strong here, with hunters, anglers and paddlers making treks to this region for its world-renowned wildlife and waters. Listen to that old sweet song played at Ray Charles Plaza, learn how Vidalia onions get their signature sweetness, and capture the sunrise over Driftwood Beach.
