Cumberland Island, Georgia
Just like a vision from a fairy tale, wild horses on Cumberland Island roam freely here.
What makes this remote, hidden beach on an island even more enticing, as if you needed more of a reason beyond wild horses, is the sprawling beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean and St. Mary’s, Georgia.
The island can only be accessed by ferry, which only adds to the adventurous trek of the whole experience. After you arrive by boat, shuffle past the island’s mature dunes, beyond the windblown sea oats, and toward the silky sand at low tide.
You might even get to have the whole hidden beach to yourself, depending on when you visit. But don’t worry…you’ll be in good company: watch for clams, whelks, and horseshoe crabs. If you keep an eye out, you may even be able to spot a whale in the Atlantic Ocean.
