For those who enjoy the beach but want to get really "wild" in Savannah ... without concern for being arrested ... or not remembering last night... not that I've ever "been there". Check out the nature and wildlife parks:
Oatland Island Wildlife Center
Skidaway Island State Park
To step back into colonial times visit Wormsloe Historic Site and Plantation ... just a short drive south of downtown you can step into history.
Savannah has a ton of history so there are many places to explore, much to be learned from the past if you are a history buff, or not. Let us remember that history is for us to learn from so as not to repeat...or as Winston Churchill more eloquently put it: "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I don't think Winston ever graced Savannah with a visit but if he did, I'm sure he enjoyed it.
We also have the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge but in some wisdom, they are closed for 3 months beginning June 2010 ... hmmmm during height of tourist season? interesting is all I can say ... I'm just saying. So come back this fall to check it out as well.
If you are into more of the urban wild there is always Forsyth Park ... especially on a Saturday morning market day! and it is dog friendly.
Speaking of pets, remember that Tybee Island is not dog friendly so don't expect to bring Fido for any wave jumping. Though Tybee is not dog friendly, cats rule ... dogs drool? There are a myriad of pet friendly hotels, shops, restaurants etc etc etc around Savannah so it's not all bad news for Fido and friends.
Come over to Savannah ... the water's fine! the wildlife is wild day or night!
