Stay Cool ALL SUMMER LONG There’s no wrong way to spend summer in Georgia. With so many options for unforgettable amusement – from splashing around in a lake to kicking back for live music – our state makes the most of it with all sorts of summer activities. Ready to cool off? Explore the splendor of Georgia’s abundant natural allure and beauty by sunbathing on our coastal beaches and getting out on the water, including our vast assortment of lakes. 70 #EXPLOREGEORGIA Bring your family to laid-back Tybee Island , a classic beach experience beloved since the 1800s. Beginning as a cluster of 400 summer cottages for Savannah locals, this coastal gem now draws visitors from everywhere for ocean activities like dolphin spotting and Southern-style seafood. For miles of shell-strewn beaches and famed wild horses, ferry to Cumberland Island National Seashore on Georgia’s largest and southernmost barrier island. See the roaming horse herd graze amid the remnants and roadways of Dungeness Ruins , which was once the mansion of Thomas Carnegie. Built in 1884, it was the grand winter retreat of the successful industrialist, and cherished by his wife Lucy long after his untimely passing. Next, meander maritime forests promising mature oak trees and curly Spanish moss. Remember: the horse herd is feral, so please do not approach. DUNGENESS RUINS, CUMBERLAND ISLAND | EXPLORE GEORGIA
