Blog Post Title: Spring into Summer: Discover the Coastal Magic Just Beyond Savannah
By Dave Wright | Realtor & Mortgage Loan Officer | SavannahSouthernHomes.com
As spring blossoms into full swing and summer peeks just around the corner, there’s no better time to embrace the magic of living in or relocating to Savannah, Georgia. Sure, our historic charm, moss-draped oaks, and cobblestone streets are enchanting—but did you know Savannah also happens to be the perfect launching point for beach lovers?
In fact, we’re surrounded by some of the South’s most breathtaking beaches—all just a short drive (or ferry ride) away.
According to Southern Living’s article, The 12 Best Beaches Near Savannah, Georgia, Savannah’s proximity to both the Georgia and South Carolina coasts means that within 20 to 90 minutes, you can be relaxing on powdery white sand, dolphin-watching, bike-cruising along the shore, or savoring fresh seafood with an ocean view.
Let’s dive into just a few reasons why Savannah is more than just a city—it’s a lifestyle. 🌊
Tybee Island: Savannah’s Beloved Beach Backyard
Just 18 miles from downtown, Tybee Island is where locals and visitors flock for sunny daycations. From the family-friendly South Beach with its bustling pier and restaurants, to the peaceful, dolphin-dotted Back River Beach (Tybee’s best-kept secret), there’s a sandy stretch for every mood. Want something in between? Mid Beach is your laid-back sweet spot, with beach bars and ocean breezes.
Hop Across State Lines: South Carolina’s Coastal Gems
Hilton Head Island—about 38 miles from Savannah—is known nationwide for its luxury resorts and wide, bikeable beaches. Try Burkes Beach for laid-back vibes or head to Coligny Beach Park for a full-service seaside experience with showers, gazebos, and nearby shopping.
Even more off the beaten path is Daufuskie Island. You’ll need a ferry to reach it, but the reward is Bloody Point Beach, where history meets pristine coastal beauty. Bonus: the island’s small-batch distillery and legendary deviled crab.
Georgia's Wild Barrier Islands: For the Adventurers
If nature calls your name, explore Sapelo Island’s Cabretta or Nanny Goat Beach, where ancient oaks and migrating birds create an untouched escape. Or head to Jekyll Island’s Driftwood Beach, where time, tide, and weathered trees paint a hauntingly beautiful scene worthy of your best beach photos.
St. Simons’ East Beach is another favorite for families, bikers, and fishing fans—just 85 miles south, it’s a coastal town full of Southern charm and beachfront fun.
Why This Matters for Homebuyers
Living in Savannah isn’t just about square footage—it’s about lifestyle. When you buy a home here, you’re investing in sunrises over the Atlantic, seafood shacks on the pier, and impromptu beach days that are always within reach.
