2. Cumberland Island National Seashore

ST. MARYS.   Once a retreat for the Carnegies and Rockefellers, Cumberland Island is one of the last unspoiled landscapes on the East Coast. Accessible only by boat, the island is a place of natural splendor – a place where acres of marshland and century-old sea oaks shelter deer, wild pigs, armadillos, alligators and wild horses from the sight of man. The island's 18 miles of white-sand beaches and its fascinating architecture, some in ruins, make it an alluring daytrip for people staying in the area. The exclusive Greyfield Inn, a stately reminder of Cumberland's genteel past, is the island's hotel.   (© 10Best)
