There’s more to explore.

Downtown Savannah is beautiful, but there's so much more to explore!

This guide brings together places to visit, things to do, and ideas for enjoying the Coastal Empire.
I’ll keep sharing new finds and adding to the list along the way.

WHERE SHOULD WE GO?

Explore like a local.

A few places and ideas to get you started. I'll keep adding more as we go.

01 / OUTSIDE

Trails & nature

Spanish moss, marsh views, and room to breathe. Start with the Jay Wolf Nature Trail on Skidaway Island, or spend an afternoon exploring Fort Pulaski.

02 / WITH THE KIDS

Family adventures

From the UGA Aquarium to the playgrounds and walking loop at L. Scott Stell Park, there are plenty of ways to get everyone out of the house.

03 / EAT LOCAL

Little local favorites

Baker's Pride, Fancy Parker's, and the places that feel like Savannah to me. Expect good food, longtime favorites, and the occasional snack confession.

04 / A LITTLE HISTORY

Stories worth knowing

Historic forts, coastal landmarks, and surprising pieces of local history. I spent eight seasons working at Fort Pulaski, so this one is especially close to my heart.

A NOTE FROM A SAVANNAH GIRL

There's always somewhere new to go.

Some days we're exploring a trail, some days we're eating something good, and some days I'm finding a piece of furniture that needs a second chance. That's life around here. Come along for the fun parts and the real-life parts, too.
