Cumberland Island

Hard to believe this was our first time on the island. Had a wonderful day exploring and letting our minds wander and wonder as to the history of the island. We had a great - easy hike. Next time we will probably bring a bathing suit!

Very interesting island. Wish we would have had more time to see it. Booked the short trip over and back and didn't realize there was so much to see...it was a very hot day...we will have to make a return trip on a cooler day.

This island is breathtaking!! I just left and I'm already counting down the days until I go back. I took my boat over to the island and pulled up as the ferry was leaving so I had almost the entire island to myself. I think I saw 1 Park ranger and a couple that looked like they were camping there and that was about it. The dock is really small so parking could be an issue, especially if you have a larger boat. However if you are lucky enough to get a spot, you will not regret your trip over! The hiking trails were really neat and the ruins were awe inspiring. I couldn't get enough of the wild horses that roam the island either. I stayed all afternoon and had an incredible sunset on my journey back to the marina! ✔️ off a bucket list item but now I have the need to go back so is it really checked off? 🤷

Such a unique and incredible experience! The island is beautiful. All of the wildlife is so cool. We saw horses all over, even on the beach. We got amazing pictures and a lifetime of memories!

Beautiful National Seashore! It was our first time here, and we loved it! We were so surprised how much their is to see on the island, and we only got to do the recommended path. We will come back to see more of the other side. Bring a water bottle per person, and you can refill as theirs many refills stations throughout. Bring a few snacks/lunch to enjoy watching the horses or by the beach. We will consider camping next time we come. What a hidden treasure. Get here early as the check-in lines can be long.

Beautiful island, took the ferry over with our bikes and pull behind cart, camped with my 3 yr old son for 2 nights. We stayed at Stafford beach campground, it was beautiful. Right next to the beach though I will warn the walk to the beach is COVERED in ticks. The beach is beautiful and we had it all to ourselves. Park rangers are super friendly and patrol the island well. Horse would run by our campsite to the beach, very incredible experience.

Such an awesome adventure! Took the ferry over, with our bikes, and biked to Stanford Beach Campground. We only spent one night due to time constraints, but would have liked to stay a few nights! BE CAREFUL THOUGH and be sure to check yourself for ticks. We each had one. The wildlife is plentiful with wild horses, adorable armadillos and even wild boar! You’ll have the entire beach to yourself at times, it really is magical!

Beautiful island worth exploring! I recommend taking the earliest ferry to maximize your time! Also think about brining or renting a fat tire bike to make it quicker when getting around the island. I chose to go backpacking with a group for a long weekend (permit required) but there are also camp sites by the east side of the beach. Don’t miss the wild horses!
