Thursday, July 3 – Sunday, July 6, 2025
We invite you to begin your holiday weekend on the remote shores of Cumberland Island, surrounded by history, nature, and the peaceful rhythm of island life.
Your journey begins with a scenic ferry ride aboard the Lucy R. Ferguson, our 42-foot Wesmac lobster boat, departing from the historic downtown Fernandina Beach Marina.
During the 45-minute crossing — and throughout your time on the island — you may spot dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, and perhaps even a few of the 150–200 wild horses that roam freely across Cumberland.
Upon arrival, a Greyfield staff member will greet you and your loved ones at the dock with house-made popsicles and lead you on a Welcome Tour of the inn. From there, you’ll be invited to explore the naturalist-led tours available and choose how you’d like to spend your first day on the island.
