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.
Perched atop a hill commanding a view towards the Tallahassee horizon, regulars (trained archaeologists to be precise) at Mission San Luis spend a majority of their time taking in the ground beneath their feet, rather than the panorama beyond. Founded by the Spanish in 1656 as a mission, the site today is an important archaeologic park that offers visitors both a behind-the-scenes look at "digs" and insight into earlier epochs. Interpretive displays provide further information, though catching a daily tour might be the best way to learn what's what and what's where at the Mission San Luis de Apalachee.
