When you enter Georgia from Florida on the I-95 at exit 1 there is the town of St-Marys, we stopped and camped there from the 29 of november to the 3rd of december before driving north to get home. We visited the region and it is quite interesting, first the little coastal towns of St-Marys in Georgia. and Fernandina Beach in Florida each side of the estuary of the St-Mary river have a charm of their own and are nice to visit. Also due to the presence of the Kingsland Navy Base and it's nuclear submarines there is a submarine museum in St-Marys. There is also Cumberland Island National Seashore that is a protected island that can only be visited with the park boat (reservations are necessary), on this island there is a population of wild horses and ruins of a castle owned and occupied in the late 1800 by the Carnegies. Also on the Florida side there is an old civil war era fort, Fort Clinch that can be visited, the 3 miles road to the fort is like driving trough a tunel of live oaks with their spanish moss. It gave us a chance to rest before heading home.
