In addition to miles of sand fringed with beach grass and cooled by salt breezes, Cumberland Island National Seashore is the spot to star-gaze, hike meandering trails, bird-watch and catch cultural sights, all within easy reach of the Landmark Historic District of Jekyll Island, to the north.
Originally, the Whitehead Memorial Museum was a preserved Perry Store from the 1870s and has since expanded into nine museum buildings, from a Native American chapel to the Hal Patton Labor Office. Some of the buildings are replicas, but many are as they stood. Each building has a different series of exhibits on local history, so exploring them all is worthwhile.
