Where to eat
What to Pack

Enjoy the mild Southern climate of Georgia in comfortable walking shoes, layered outfits and a mix of beach and upscale casual ware. Although the temperatures are warm, everywhere you go is heavily air conditioned, so you may want a light jacket. If you are golfing, proper attire is required including collared shirts for men. Bring a swimsuit, shorts, sunglasses, sunscreen, sandals and casual outfits you can dress up with some fun accessories...or better yet buy some accessories on your vacation for wearable memories of your trip!  If you plan on doing something in nature, be sure to bring along some bug spray.
