Cumberland Island is Georgia's largest and southernmost barrier island. Pristine maritime forests, undeveloped beaches, wild horses and wide marshes whisper the stories of both man and nature.

Forgotten by the Carnegies who owned the island at one point, they left the Dungeness Mansion which is now just crumbling ruins. The whole island is sort of a ghost town. When they left, they left their stable of horses which now have reproduced and run wild along the salt marshes with the wild turkeys, armadillos and aligators that call this wild island home.

There is no traffic on the island, and you must take a ferry over to the island to explore the endless miles of forgotten coastline. On our ferry trip home, we had schools of dolphin playing in the wake of the ferry.

Surely a day we'll never forget and cant wait to go back!
