“History and nature come together in a lot of beautiful places, but few have the understated glamour (think Carnegies and Kennedys) and sense of mystery that gives Cumberland Island its timeless appeal. Although the island has been inhabited for centuries, much of it—including miles of windswept beaches, pristine marshes and lush maritime forest—remains completely unmarred by civilization. This is one place you’ll want to bring your camera: dolphins like to play tag with the ferry as it makes its way from St. Mary’s to the island, trees are crowned by barely-there halos of green, abstract driftwood decorates the shoreline and wild horses roam freely with their gangly foals.”
