Spring: Fresh Air and New Adventures

Spring is one of the best times to explore Liberty County. Comfortable temperatures make it easy to spend the day outdoors, whether you’re visiting a historic site, strolling through a local park or attending a community festival. History lovers will enjoy a trip to Fort Morris Historic Site, where visitors can walk among the original Revolutionary War earthworks and enjoy views of the St. Catherines Sound. Families can spend the afternoon at Bryant Commons Park, which features walking paths, playgrounds, a fishing pond, and plenty of open space for a picnic. Spring is also festival season. The annual Small World Festival celebrates the many cultures that make Liberty County unique through food, music, performances and interactive booths.

Summer: Life on the Water

When summer arrives, locals know it’s time to head for the coast. The Sunbury Boat Ramp is a favorite destination for fishing, crabbing, boating and enjoying views of Liberty County’s scenic waterways. Visitors looking for a more remote adventure can explore St. Catherines Island, a beautiful barrier island accessible only by boat. Its undeveloped beaches, abundant wildlife and world-class fishing opportunities make it one of the most unique destinations along Georgia’s coast. For a more relaxed experience, climb aboard a Slack Tide Tiki cruise and enjoy a leisurely ride through the coastal marshes. It’s a fun way to experience the area’s natural beauty while creating memories with family and friends.
