Georgia on my mind: from Atlanta to the Atlantic, the Peach State brims with juicy discoveries - State Of The Month

Travel America, Nov-Dec, 2003 by Angela Wibking

End your swing around the state with a leisurely trip south from Savannah to Georgia's Golden Isles, a string of lush subtropical barrier islands that lies just off the coast. Some are wildlife refuges but the developed islands of Jekyll, St. Simons and Sea islands ale accessible via bridges and offer superb beaches, great golf, and a wide range of accommodations.

These sandy shores are also the perfect spot to unfold your beach chair, gaze out at the blue Atlantic, and reflect on your journey through Georgia. But don't get too comfortable. There's still the Cumberland Island National Seashore, accessible only by terry to a limited number of visitors daily, and the 438,000-acre Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge left to explore. And that's just a bite of the peach, so to speak.
