Review:

You’ll have to leave Jacksonville and head into Georgia to visit Cumberland Island National Seashore. This island is the most significant barrier island in Georgia and is mostly undeveloped. The ecosystem is continually changing as wind, and wildfires alter the landscape.

Visitors to the island will need to start at the Mainland Visitor’s Center where they can check-in for the ferry and get their permits for camping if they plan to stay overnight on the island. There is also a Mainland Museum at the center with limited operational hours.
