Definition of the Perfect Summer
The season itself is often identified as a time for relaxation and trying new things. That’s why you should escape the everyday hustle and unwind with us on the Georgia coast! In Liberty County, the days are slower, the people are nicer and the adventures are endless. From kayaking and cruising on the water to picnics, parks and historic sites – we’ve got it all. And summer gives us the perfect opportunity to enjoy everything our county has to offer.
Weather
It’s gonna be hot, but it’s gonna be beautiful. The blue skies go on for miles and the sun sits high in the sky like a spotlight each day. It rises early and sets late throughout the warmer months, providing more time for new experiences. Fair warning: you may experience afternoon showers, so be sure to bring an umbrella, too!
What to Wear
During summer in the south, we tend to go around in t-shirts and shorts. Because it can get so warm, we also never forget our bathing suits! Several of our local hotels have pools, as well as our recreation department! It’s also great to visit places like the Sunbury Boat Ramp and enjoy the breeze coming off the water.
What to Eat & Drink
If you’re out on the coast, it’s the perfect time to try seafood from the Sunbury Crab Company. Caught fresh each day, we can promise that you’ve never had anything like it. Along with the delicious entrees, there is a fully stocked bar. Order a drink of your choice and take in coastal views from your table.
Keep Yourself Healthy
Get active and stay fit while you’re visiting, so you can keep coming back and making memories for years to come. Go for a walk at Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center and learn about the different ecosystems present there. Or if history is your thing, we suggest bird watching at Fort Morris State Historic Site! Make sure that you take a bottle of water and some sunscreen with you. A hand fan is always a good idea too. Wondering where you can get one? Stop by and visit us at the historic Bacon Fraser House! We’ll pack you a whole welcome bag of Liberty County goodies.
Activities
Our coastal county offers a wide range of experiences perfect for all interests. If being on the water isn’t your thing, take a walk in a park or cast a line at one of our favorite spots. Outdoor activities are an essential part of what makes days in the sun so much fun.
Places to Visit
Browse the Hinesville Farmers Market and check out local goodies on Thursdays from 3-7pm in Bradwell Park. You can view local art at the Hinesville Area Arts Council too. And don’t leave downtown Hinesville without taking a picture at Liberty County’s only mural, located on the side of the gallery building! If coastal vibes are more your style, book a charter or take your own boat out to visit our barrier island, St. Catherines. Keep in mind that the island’s interior requires an invitation, but its shores are open to all visitors.
