This Wildlife Hike Along The Georgia Coast Is A Nature Lover’s Dream

We’re all about the nature trails in Georgia. Luckily for us, we have the option to either traipse through the mountaintop trails or hit the coastal edge for completely different types of wildlife experiences. While the weather starts to get warm around many different parts of the state, it’s time to start planning for the wildlife hike along Georgia’s cost that is a true nature lover’s dream.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
