Traveling to Georgia
Georgia: From Mountains to the Sea

Ask any three people and you’ll get three different visions of Georgia. That makes sense since the state is so diverse. From the mountains in the northeast to the plains in the south and the Atlantic Ocean in the east, there’s an incredible range of environments on offer. We fell in love with Georgia during our many visits that now we call it home. We have spent hundreds of hours exploring the state’s lakes, rivers, and coastline so you don’t have to.

Unparalleled Natural Diversity

Do you have Georgia on your mind? That’s great! There’s so much more to this state than peanuts or peaches!

  • Georgia is home to the Okefenokee, the largest swamp in North America.
  • The state has 110 miles of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Georgia boasts over 300 square miles of Atlantic Ocean within its borders.
  • You’ll find over 3,400 miles of tidal shoreline.
  • You can explore 15 barrier islands (not all are accessible by car).
  • Georgia has 14 major river basins.
  • The state boasts over 30 large lakes.
North Georgia

North Georgia is mountain country! You can explore streams and rivers to catch trout, camp under the stars, and more. This area also includes foothills and the beginning of the coastal plain that makes up over 50% of the state. Explore Tallulah Gorge State Park, or head over to Amicalola Falls State Park for more natural beauty.

Central Georgia

Central Georgia is dominated by the coastal plain, which stretches from the Appalachian Mountains’ foothills to the Atlantic Ocean and into Florida. Central Georgia is where you’ll find many of the state’s larger cities, including Atlanta. Lake Lanier and Lake Altoona are both in this region, too, and offer hundreds of miles of coast and water for fishing, boating, and swimming.

South Georgia

South Georgia includes cities like Macon and Valdosta and is your access point to Florida. The Okefenokee is in this region if you’re interested in exploring its depths or you can visit Providence Canyon or Radium Springs.

Coastal Georgia

The smallest of Georgia’s regions but one of the most diverse, Coastal Georgia offers access to just about anything you might want. You’ll find amusement rides and fun on Jekyll Island, but just a few miles away, you can relax in tranquility on Tybee Island. Cumberland Island boasts wild horses and ruins, while St. Simons Island offers a wide range of tourist attractions. Throughout the region, you can fish from beaches or on the open water, or head into estuaries for unique fresh/saltwater options.
