Summer time is here, and it’s the perfect season to get into some water sports and outdoor activities! Whether your thing is going to the beach, the lake, or just throwing that annual summer BBQ, there are certain Georgia summer traditions we all have. Here are some of the best things you can do in Georgia on a hot summer day:
Here is a picture of a beautiful sunrise on Tybee Island--just one of the many beaches you can go in Georgia. Go on down to the Georgia coastline and visit one of the Golden Isles. You and your family are sure to have tons of fun in the sun!
Fishing is a big sport in Georgia. Catch some Bass, Trout, or Catfish then go home and fry them up country style! With so many lakes to choose from, fishing is an easy and favorite pastime of many Georgia folks.

Or...you can choose to swim in the lakes! Here is a lake somewhere in the North Georgia Mountains bordering North Carolina. There's plenty more just as beautiful as this one.

If you're looking for a little more adventure, try this sport out for size. Kayaking in the North Georgia Mountains can be extremely fun--just make sure to pick rivers according to your expertise level (this guy is a pro!) It can be a dangerous sport!
No not really! But if you've never tried jet skiing we have it right here in Georgia down on the coast. There's actually a jet ski shop right on Tybee Island!
You can go on down to Savannah and get on a river boat--or maybe your neighbor or friend has one at the lake!
This little girl is having the time of her life! I'm not sure which water park she's at, but I know I need to go to that one! You can have just as much fun too visiting one of Georgia's water parks such as White Water or Helen's Tubing.
