Cumberland Island National Seashore

"Breathtakingly beautiful! Make sure you bring plenty of water, sunscreen and bug spray. If you love wildlife this is the place. The beach was empty and gorgeous and we did swim.We saw wild hogs and horses. We plan on going back and taking the Land and Legacy tour."

"Very beautiful area and it is definitely worth the time to visit. Ferry and Park admission is separate. Make sure you take water, snacks and anything else you might need because there are NO amenities on the island (they did have coolers of ice water stationed around) and the ferry sells snacks, water and soda. So much to see once there...the ruins are fascinating, just imagining when it was full of life. The wild horses are everywhere so you will get to see them. I did make it to the beach. The sand will tire you out and it's hot to your feet so wear good shoes..."

"Did the Land and Legacy Tour and it was fantastic. A must do if you would enjoy learning the history of the island and it's early inhabitants.Photo one is of 1st African Baptist Church the site of the wedding of John Kennedy, Jr. Photo two is the ruins of the Carnegie Home, called Dungeness. Photo three one of the 300+ years old Live Oak draped in moss. Many many wild horses roaming about."

"Beautiful place to check out, but make sure you've done your research 1. Either book your ferry trip before you get there or do it at the park visitor center. Arrive at least 30 minutes before the ferry leaves. It is best to arrive for the 9am ferry as there are more guided tours you can take and you can walk around more leisurely. Even with 4 hours, you won't see the whole island if you're walking 2. You will pay for a ferry fee and park fee separate 3. Park at the designated parking lot, 30.720997, -81.551229. If you park on the street, it is 2 hr max parking and you will get towed 4. You'll want to do a minimum of 4 hours. 2 hours is not enough! You'll barely have time to do the 4 mile loop at the bottom of the island 5. You can see more shells and tiny crabs at racoon keys. 6. Bring food and water and snacks. There are no food vendors on the island. They have stations where you can get water. 7. To get around faster, you can bring your own bike! However, you'll have to get off at the sea camp dock so it'll be a like longer to check out the ruins. 8. The water is very brown, so even though the beach at the bottom loop has nice white sand, it's not very appealing to get in the water Definitely check this place out, it is very beautiful!!"

"Magical, mystical, historical, natural, beautiful, there are just not enough superlatives to describe our time on Cumberland Island. We saw horses, sharks, armadillos,loads of birds, and butterflies. The rangers and volunteers were incredibly helpful and friendly. We were worried that just spending an afternoon on the island would not be enough but it allowed us to dip our toes into the history of the island, Georgia and the US whilst enjoying amazing nature."
