11 Best Places In Georgia To Visit

Situated on the eastern seaboard of the United States, just shy of Florida, Georgia is an incredible place to visit. Best of all, due to its location, it has heaps of different landscapes, shorelines, and parks to visit—and that’s even before we get onto the cities in Georgia. 

Now, Georgia is a pretty big state in the east of the United States. This is great if you’re travelling around Georgia on a road trip across the state. However, its sheer scale does make it hard to whittle down a concise list of the best places in Georgia to visit if you’re only heading through (or to) the state for a limited time. 

So, to help you make the most of your trip, I’m sharing the top places in Georgia that I think you’ll love. This way, you can focus on route planning. Have the best time visiting Georgia. 

1.) Jekyll Island

Not too far from the city of Brunswick, Jekyll Island is one of the best places in Georgia to visit if you’re looking for a beach break.

Now, for a stunning and quiet beach on Jekyll Island, head to the northern tip around Driftwood Beach. It’s a totally unspoilt and picturesque island area with no development at all. It’s just like it would have been thousands of years. Also, you can easily park your car in this area to head out strolling across the beach. 

Also, don’t forget to stop off at the waterpark and head south on Jekyll Island to Summer Waves Water Park, which is seasonally open and so much fun. 

Finally, you’ve got the stunning South Dunes and St Andrews Beach, not too far from Jekyll Island Causeway itself.

2.) Savannah

Right on the border with South Carolina, Savannah is a lovely city in Georgia to visit for a few days trip. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect to stay for a night or two and really explore the historic centre itself. 

Once you’re here, visit City Market, which is situated between Ellis Square and Franklin Square and is lovely to walk around. Here, they have heaps of foodie spots, art exhibitions and bars to whisk away a day. It’s lovely. 

Oh, and make sure to head to Forsyth Park, which is lovely on a warm sunny day. This park is so gorgeous, especially with the walks around the fountain and into the open green area past Collins Quarter at Forsyth (where you can stop for a glass of wine).

Also, there are heaps of seasonal activities happening throughout the summer months. You can attend events…
