Cumberland Island, Georgia

From the incredible camping opportunities to the Carnegies, Cumberland Island is one of the most unique places in America. This national seashore is a sanctuary for wildlife. You’ll find wild horses and loggerhead turtles right on the sand.

And you can take a leisurely hike through the island’s oak-tree-shaded interior for your chance to see some deer, armadillos, hogs, turkeys, rabbits, and raccoons.

One of the best things about this stunning location is that since the only way to get here is by ferry ride or boat, it’s never overcrowded. And once you arrive, you’re greeted by 17 miles worth of sandy shores to pick from.
