Tybee Island Kayak & Wormsloe Trail

An active Savannah day that uses the coastal Georgia ecosystem as its terrain — salt marsh kayaking in the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge in the morning, then the Wormsloe Historic Site 5-mile trail loop in the afternoon. The Savannah National Wildlife Refuge is a 30,000-acre freshwater and salt marsh reserve on the South Carolina border, accessible by kayak from the Savannah River tributaries; the marsh channels support American alligators, bottlenose dolphins, wood storks, and roseate spoonbills. Wormsloe Historic Site is the colonial era plantation of Noble Jones (Savannah's first constable, arrived 1733 on the Anne with James Oglethorpe) — the 5-mile loop trail through the site passes the 1.5-mile tabby (crushed oyster shell concrete) entrance avenue through live oak canopy before branching into the marshland trails that cross Jones Narrows.
