First off, disregard the other person who just posted that there is nothing to see down here. I've traveled the world (literally), and am still intrigued by many places in the South. You need to visit Beaufort, SC when you are in the Savannah area. It's near the GA-SC border. In fact, it's only about 30 minutes from downtown Savannah if you are on US-17. Beaufort is a city many movie makers use when their films are set in the South. For example, many scenes from Forest Gump, The Big Chill and The Prince of Tides were filmed here. It's a great place to spend a few hours exploring! In Savannah itself, I would just recommend walking around the historic district. Be sure to explore the historic squares and, of course, Forsyth Park. I despise organized tours, but a tour of Savannah would be appropriate as a first-time visitor. An organized tour will fill you in on the history and show you the primary sites. Finally, I recommend my town, St. Augustine, Florida. The town has become "touristy, " but still has quite a bit of good history. You need to take a tour of Flagler College to see the insanely ornate Ponce de Leon Hall. It is truly spectacular! |
