Heading to Skidaway Island, Savannah next week

Hi, the park itself has nice trails. We also did a walking tour of the city and the tour book (I think we purchased it at the visitors center) was very interesting. The center also has an informative film that gives you good basis of history.

One of our favorite spots for lunch and a treat is Back in the Day Bakery. It is a very cool, retro styled bakery that has had some national exposure with a great cookbook. You can get a panini and one of their terrific baked goods. Never had anything bad. You can google for directions and hours.

Enjoy your trip and report back if you find a new treasure to share!

History, nature/birds, micro breweries and good food

History: Savannah center city, take a walking tour, Fort Pulaski of course.
nature/birds: Skidaway Island has some nice trails, and a nice nature center. Close by is a school/research center that has some great trails and a small nature building(its off McWhorter drive, can't think of name).
micro breweries: this is a drinking city.
good food: all over; some fun touristy spots along the waterfront.

We've stayed at Skidaway a number of times, and often stop for a few days returning from Florida in the spring. Never run out of things to do or see.

Regards,
Doug

Thanks for the replies, any other suggestions?

Fort Pulaski is not to be missed!!!!!!!!

If you like history, be sure you check out the forts down there. Fort McAllister SP is a really great state park. They have a nice little museum and then there is a very large area where the bunkers are built right into the sand dunes. The dunes are covered with grass now, but it's very interesting.

Fort Pulaski is on the way to Tybee Island. I have not been there yet, but we're going next month. I love history myself, so I can never get enough of forts.
