| How To Get To Cumberland Island From Atlanta |
The Great Cumberland Island Odyssey
Getting to Cumberland Island from Atlanta is like embarking on a quest for the Holy Grail (minus the whole grail part). It's an adventure, a journey, a saga. You won't be jetting off in a private plane (unless you're feeling extra fancy). No, this is a ground-and-sea operation.
Option 1: The Budget Backpacker
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
If you're on a shoestring budget and have all the time in the world, this is your jam. Take a bus to Jacksonville, then another bus to Yulee. From there, you'll need to hitch a ride (just kidding, don't do that) to St. Marys. Finally, hop on a ferry. It's like a real-life game of Frogger, but with less traffic and more wildlife.
Option 2: The Comfort Seeker
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
If you prefer a bit more comfort, flying into Jacksonville is your best bet. From there, rent a car or take a taxi to St. Marys. You'll still need to catch the ferry, but at least you won't have bus fumes in your hair.
