13 Unimaginably Beautiful Places In Georgia That You Must See Before You Die
For people who are not necessarily familiar with the state of Georgia, it doesn’t quite register with them the abundance of beauty offered. Most people think “Georgia” and imagine peach stands to dot the streets of Atlanta and that’s about it. But what everyone should know about Georgia…what should be the first thing on someone’s mind when our state’s name is mentioned…is the unimaginably beautiful places that are in every nook and cranny. In case you need a refresher yourself, here ya go!
Tallulah Gorge has always been one of the most beautiful parts of Georgia, and it's easy to see why. Hiking through Tallulah Gorge State Park provides endless opportunities for beauty, along with getting a taste of what Georgia nature is truly about.
The views from Brasstown Bald really can't be beat. No matter what season you visit, the opportunities to indulge in spectacular sights and sounds are prevalent. You just need to show up and enjoy.
St. Simons Island is a place where charm and natural quirkiness are in every corner. You just need to be looking. Whether it be walking along the shoreline or visiting the famed pier, the elegance of the town knows no bounds.
Radium Springs has a unique history within the state of Georgia, which is part of what adds to the beauty. But really walking around the grounds, outside of the spring itself, adds a bit of natural splendor that you can't find anywhere else.
Bell Mountain is one of those hidden gems of Georgia that many people will visit once they know it exists. But the views of Georgia in every direction are what cultivate a sense of natural wonderment that can be carried around forever.
Sometimes we take for granted just how beautiful our capital city skyline is. But when you visit Piedmont Park and see for yourself just how spectacular Atlanta truly is, you're in for a delightful experience.
Cloudland Canyon is a fan-favorite for Georgians and visitors alike. There are pockets of allure throughout the state park that should be enjoyed over and over again. Whether the canyon itself, the solitude of the hiking trails, or the waterfalls at every turn, this is one place you don't want to miss.
Ahhh, Amicalola Falls. The height and beauty of this waterfall is something that exudes magic. Not only is Amicalola Falls a delightful way to spend an afternoon, but you'll be in for a treat once you see how huge this waterfall is in person.
Downtown Savannah is undeniably beautiful. The architecture, the history, the charm and sense of community. Not to mention the river right next door. Something about this old town, we can't get enough of.
If you're going to visit Cumberland Island, you might be doing it for the spectacular wild horses who roam free. But try to spend at least an entire day there, exploring the area fully. Cumberland Island is truly a beautiful place because of all the little details that you'll find only when you're paying attention.
Color everywhere. That's what makes Callaway Gardens so pleasing to the eye. The colors that pop up in every corner of the grounds, plus the natural splendor that everyone can embrace by visiting. Go in the springtime for a most memorable day.
Another one of the coastal spots in Georgia which is undeniably dazzling is Tybee Island. We recommend visiting during the spring to summer months and sidling up to the shoreline during a sunset or two. It'll remind you why Georgia is so loved by all.
Waterfalls are a joyful experience in Georgia, and we're lucky to have so many. Panther Falls is a magical site, especially since the hike to get there is quite intense. But the reward in witnessing this natural marvel is surely worth the trek.
