Leaving From Ortega Landing Marina, 10 Minutes From Downtown<br />
<strong>Jacksonville</strong>, You Can Sail Out To The Wide And Calm Water Of The<br />
Magnificent St Johns River. The Banks Are Lined With Trees And Beautiful<br />
Homes, Perfect For Relaxation And Sunbathing. (Full Day: You Stop In A<br />
Cove For A Barbeque Onboard And Take A Swim, Or Go Ashore For<br />
Lunch.)
Fort George and Little Talbot Islands<br />
Enjoy the beach, sandbars, and ocean<br />
swimming at Talbot Islands State Park. This is a<br />
great overnight destination from either<br />
<strong>Jacksonville</strong> or Amelia Island. The Fort George<br />
River provides a protected anchorage nestled<br />
among the salt marshes and sand flats. This<br />
remote area of the park is only accessible by<br />
boat. Here you can bird-watch or play and<br />
swim off the extensive sandbars that appear<br />
and disappear with the tide. It is a captivating<br />
dinghy ride winding your way through the back<br />
waters and dunes of the Fort George River<br />
arriving at a beautiful flat sandy almost private<br />
ocean beach of Little Talbot Island. Here you<br />
can swim in the ocean waves as the roll over<br />
the sandbars off the island.
Explore the Quaint Seaside Village of Fernandina<br />
Whether your a departing from Fernandina or<br />
sailing up from <strong>Jacksonville</strong>, you will want to<br />
spend some time exploring this historic town.<br />
Founded in 1562, the town we see today was<br />
largely built after the civil war. The tree lined<br />
streets are dotted with Victorian homes,<br />
interesting shops and many excellent<br />
restaurants. It’s easy to spent an afternoon (or<br />
2) exploring the town and dinning out.<br />
Fernandina Harbor Marina makes a great<br />
overnight stopover if you are on a 2 or 3 (or<br />
more) day vacation from <strong>Jacksonville</strong>.
Jekyll Island, The Crown Of The Golden Isles Of Georgia<br />
Another 3-4 hours north of Cumberland is<br />
Jekyll Island, GA. In 1886, a group of<br />
millionaires purchased the island and<br />
converted it into the country’s most exclusive<br />
club. You can visit the Millionaires’ Village and<br />
see the beautiful restored homes formerly<br />
belonging to the Rockerfellers, Macys,<br />
Goodyears, J.P. Morgan & more. There are<br />
many beaches accessible by boat along St<br />
Andrews Sound if you are looking for some<br />
beach time. You can sail there going out the St<br />
Marys inlet for a ocean trip and come back on<br />
the ICW that allows you to circumnavigate<br />
Cumberland Island.
