6. Cumberland Island, Georgia
What could be more wonderful than a secret island populated by wild horses? Cumberland Island, the largest barrier island in Georgia, is preserved as a National Seashore, and once you’re there, you’ll understand why. This destination is the perfect place to get away and explore the stunning surroundings.
Take a ferry from the mainland to see the ruins of the Dungeness Mansion and other abandoned houses that have been preserved as historic buildings. You can either spend the night at one of five campgrounds (three of them are wilderness sites) or stay at the Greyfield Inn, the island’s only hotel.
Get ready to see wild horses on the dune meadows, as well as other wildlife like armadillos and sea turtles throughout the island.
