Things To Do

I won't sugar coat it- there are not a ton of things to do in Waverly, GA, but we've done our best to include a couple of activities within 30-40 minutes of the venue.

Saint Simons Island

Saint Simons Island, GA 31522

St. Simons is an island off the Georgia coast. It’s known for its salt marshes and sandy stretches like East Beach. A museum traces the history of St. Simons Lighthouse, rebuilt in 1872 after it was destroyed in the Civil War. Anglers fish off nearby St. Simons Pier, which offers views of Jekyll Island and migrating whales. North, boats travel to Little St. Simons Island, home to birds like spoonbills and gannets.

Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island, GA 31527

The island is very walkable and the beaches are not very crowded. However, there is a $6 toll (which is valid for 24 hours) to get on the island.

Savannah

Savannah, GA

For guests who are staying in town for a few days, we highly recommend a day or overnight trip to historic Savannah, Georgia! Its historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. Things of particular interest- River Street, Colonial Park Cemetery, and Walking Night Time Ghost Tours!
