Visit Savannah
Founded in 1733, Savannah is "Georgia's First City" and one of the most romantic, and haunted! destinations in the United States. This charming city is rich with history and Southern hospitality. The Historic District fills Savannah with twenty-two picturesque city squares, extraordinary architecture and lush botanicals. Only 38 miles away (about 1 hour of scenic driving), this coastal city is just an earshot away from Hilton Head Island. You can actually see it from the southern end of the island. The history in Savannah runs deep, starting with its discovery in 1773 by General James Oglethorpe. The city owes its beautiful layout to General Oglethorpe, who designed wide open streets intertwined with shady public squares and parks. Savannahians renovated cotton warehouses into a quaint stretch of restaurants, galleries, and boutiques known as River Street. This popular stop is perfect to grab some oysters on the half shell, stroll and shop
down the cobblestoned street, and kick back to watch the boats go by while enjoying some of the famous local sweets.
There is much to do in Savannah, including shopping, dining, professional sports, numerous art galleries and theatre performances.
