Cumberland Island

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to! Memories run through my mind even now…..

please go here. this place is amazing and beautiful.

This place is great for day trips (via boat from St. Mary’s – exit 1 on I95) or for camping out on the island in Sea Camp (which has running water) or Pioneer Camping (no running water/showers(soon to change). This is a national park and is really nice; camps are almost on the beach. The main (and only road) is made of sea shells that were dredged to deepen the bay for the Navy base, King’s Bay. If you lucky you may possibly see a nuclear sub come into port while on the sea camp dock. Great place to visit and camp.

%{color:green}The fact that JFK, Jr. got married on this island has nothing to do with why I love it here. The scenery is to die for; a lot of history to this island. You can see the ruins of the old Carnegie house that burnt in the 1950’s, there’s people from WWII buried there, lots of old stuff to see. There’s old architecture on the beach, wild horses running about. The last time I camping there we saw a baby colt that had just been born. It was sticky, yucky and all wobble so it must have been born within an hour of us seeing it. And it is literally an island that you have to take a ferry to get to. It’s just a serene get-a-way from the busy city life. %

I camp in the Cumberland Island sea camp every single year. It is the most amazing setting for a week of campfires and swimming on a white beach.

We went on a field trip one year, and I couldn’t have been happier with the time spent there. The wild horses are absolutely beautiful.

I can’t wait to go back for another leisurely picnic on the beach.

peaceful beach.. hard to find

Sea kayak or hike to the north end of the island for the best experience. Sea Camp is fine for a night but the best is to the North!
