If you ever find yourself heading to Savannah Georgia be prepared to experience the ultimate time capsule of a city. From the ever thriving business district of riverstreet with the same cobblestone streets since the birth of the city to the mossy trees drapped all over the city. Savannah Georgia is a very historic city and you can feel the energy as you explore. To all my foodies on my 5 month stay while attending Savannah State University I was able to visit so many great eateries in the South Georgia area. The food never disappoints. You can even go off grid and enjoy the quietness of the barrier islands along the coast like Jekyll or Tybee Island. Just don’t forget your bug spray as the Savannah gnats do bite and that’s no fun! But hey it’s the price you pay to enjoy the natural atmosphere of this great city.
Known more often for it’s ghoulish history, Savannah also has a distinct place in Black American history as well. With notable figures like WW Law and the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, there is much learn about Savannah outside of the midnight tours. Add to that the rich Gullah Geechee culture and unique spots like the Pin Point Heritage Museum, and you will leave with a new appreciation for the Hostess City of the South
If you’re looking for a quick weekend getaway where you can get a taste of the beach, nightlife and historical adventure, stop in to visit Savannah, Georgia. If you prefer the beach life and want to sprinkle a little city adventure along the way, I recommend that you rent a beach house on Tybee Island and take a day trip (or two) to Savannah in a rental; it’s about 17-18 miles from the Island to Savannah. If you live locally in Georgia (i.e. Atlanta), this will be approximately a 4+ hour drive, but it gives you freedom of moving around if you drive down in your own vehicle with friends. While in Savannah, GA, stop by Club 51 Degrees for great vibes, music and the best taste of the night life!
