*****
Sunbury Cemetery
To begin, head east on Highway 84—or Islands Hwy as we like to call it—then cross over I-95 and turn left onto Old Sunbury Road. It starts off as gravel as you pass the Tradeport East Business Center, then it turns into a dirt road leading you right to the Sunbury Cemetery.
The gorgeous oaks and tendrils of Spanish moss will look great in a photo, so be sure to hop out and take in the view. Your vehicle might get dirty, but the serene location is well worth it.

Fort Morris
After your stop at Sunbury Cemetery, get back on that dirt road and turn right at the stop sign to head over to Fort Morris. The reverent location just might take you back in time as you reminisce over the brave soldiers who once occupied the land. You can even enjoy a melodic soundtrack from the local birds as you meander through the park.

Cay Creek Road
If you find yourself longing for even more peaceful nature views, then get back on Highway 84 for a bit and turn left at Charlie Butler Road to get to Cay Creek Road.
There’s nothing like an old dirt road for feeling connected to nature and Cay Creek Road is one of the best Liberty County has to offer! You’ll find very little disturbances as you drive slowly and appreciate the view. Even if you come across another traveler, you’ll most likely be met with a friendly wave hello.

Historic Baptismal Trail
Cay Creek Road ends in Riceboro and then it’s a relatively short drive down Highway 17 to get to E.B. Cooper Highway and the Historic Baptismal Trail. Find your inner peace as you traverse the holy site and explore the land where ancestors of the local Geechee communities performed ritual baptisms until the 1940s.
