Only accessible by boat, the Cumberland Island National Seashore was created in 1972 to preserve a majority of Cumberland Island in Georgia.
The island is touted as the largest and southernmost of Georgia’s barrier islands and contains maritime forests, beaches and marshes, all which invite both visitors and wildlife to the area. Unfortunately, due to its limited access, only an estimated 40,000 visit the seashore annually.
For those that are interested in taking in the seashore, the visitor center and ferry access to the island is located in St. Marys, Georgia.
Visitors find a plethora of activities to keep them occupied including wildlife watching, sunbathing and swimming. Many also find enjoyment in collecting sea-shells, shark teeth and sand dollars. A limit of two gallons of these mementos is allowed.
All should take care to be respectful of the wildlife on the island. While some may be innocuous, there are also several dangerous species including rattlesnakes and alligators.
