Savannah River at Cockspur Island

A scenic view of a shoreline featuring sandy beach and lush green grasses, with trees in the background and a calm body of water under a clear blue sky.

Seen near where it meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Savannah River becomes more estuary than traditional river. Tides here can affect its levels by up to seven feet and the current is quite swift.

This vantage point can be accessed from the parking lot at Fort Pulaski National Monument, on the trail leading to Battery Hambright. It’s an easy walk and less than half a mile.
