The best day trips from Savannah are the ones that don’t spend your whole day in the car. Tybee Island is 30 minutes away. Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Beaufort, across the line in South Carolina, are each about an hour or less. Jekyll and St. Simons islands, in Georgia’s Golden Isles, are about 90 minutes south, and Charleston is about two hours north, which is why it works better with a night there. Two famous islands come with strings attached: Cumberland Island is possible in a day only on a tight ferry schedule, and Sapelo Island can be visited only on a guided tour or as a resident’s guest.
This guide is for anyone with a spare day and a car, deciding which trip is worth it and which really needs an overnight. It’s built around feasibility: door-to-door time, ferries, fees and what you’ll actually have time to see. Keep in mind that the drive times here assume normal traffic, and summer weekends, holiday Fridays and the bridges to Hilton Head can add a lot. Keep your states straight, too: Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, Hunting Island, Daufuskie and Charleston are all in South Carolina. Fees and schedules were checked September 23, 2026 against official sources.
Day Trips From Savannah: The Feasibility Table
| Destination | State | Drive each way | Ferry or fees | Time there | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tybee Island | GA | About 30 minutes (18 miles) | Parking $4/hour or $25/day | 4-8 hours | The easiest trip there is |
| Fort McAllister and Richmond Hill | GA | About 45 minutes | State park parking fee | 2-4 hours | An easy half day |
| Bluffton | SC | About 40 minutes | None | 3-4 hours | An easy half day |
| Hilton Head Island | SC | 45-60 minutes | Beach parking; Sea Pines gate fee | 5-7 hours | An easy beach day |
| Beaufort | SC | About 1 hour | None | 4-6 hours | An easy, rewarding day |
| Hunting Island State Park | SC | About 1 hour 15 minutes | Park admission; lighthouse climb $5 | 4-6 hours | Easy; pair it with Beaufort |
| Darien and Brunswick | GA | 1-1.25 hours | Small state-site fees | 4-6 hours | Easy; good for history and seafood |
| St. Simons Island | GA | About 1.5 hours | None to enter | 5-6 hours | Works; better with a night |
| Jekyll Island | GA | About 1.5 hours | $10 per vehicle per day | 5-6 hours | Works well |
| Daufuskie Island | SC | About 45 minutes to the ferry | Ferry fare; book ahead | 4-6 hours | Works if the ferry times do |
| Sapelo Island | GA | About 1 hour 15 minutes to the ferry | State ferry; guided tour or host required | A tour’s length | Tour days only; book ahead |
| Charleston | SC | About 2 hours (108 miles) | City parking | 6-8 hours | Possible but rushed; stay a night |
| Cumberland Island | GA | About 2 hours to St. Marys | Ferry $40 plus $10 park fee; reserve | Up to 7 hours on the island | Realistic only with a pre-dawn start |
How we built the table: drive times are typical door-to-door times from downtown Savannah in normal traffic, and “time there” is what fits into a 10- to 12-hour day without rushing. Ferry times and fees come from the operators and park agencies, and the verdicts are our judgment of whether the trip rewards the driving.
If you have only a day or two in Savannah, spend them in the city; our Savannah itinerary shows how. Day trips make sense from day three on.
How to Choose: The Two-Hour Rule
A useful rule of thumb: if the round-trip drive takes more than about a third of your waking day, the trip deserves an overnight. By that measure, anything within about 90 minutes is a comfortable day trip, and anything two hours or more each way, Charleston and Cumberland Island in particular, starts to become a long day of driving with a few hours of sightseeing in the middle.
Three other things decide whether a trip works:
- Ferries. Cumberland, Sapelo and Daufuskie islands have no bridges. Their boats run on fixed schedules, need booking, and don’t wait for late arrivals. Miss the last boat back and your day trip becomes an expensive night.
- Fees. Jekyll Island charges every vehicle to enter, state parks charge admission or parking, and Cumberland adds a park entrance fee to the ferry fare. None are large, but they add up over a family.
- The car. Public transit doesn’t serve these trips, and there’s no regular bus even to Tybee. If you flew in, the airport has nine rental-car companies in baggage claim; our guide to getting around Savannah covers renting and parking.
Day Trips Without a Car
Without a car, your realistic options shrink to Tybee. No public bus runs there, but private shuttles and rideshares fill the gap, and the free Savannah Belles Ferry across the river to Hutchinson Island makes a pleasant hour even if it isn’t a day trip. For anything farther, renting a car for a single day is usually cheaper and far more flexible than stitching together rides.
North or South? The Lowcountry vs. the Golden Isles
Most day trips from Savannah point one of two ways, and they feel quite different.
| North into South Carolina | South along the Georgia coast | |
|---|---|---|
| Main trips | Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort, Hunting Island, Charleston | Fort McAllister, Darien, St. Simons, Jekyll, Cumberland |
| Drive | 40 minutes to 2 hours | 45 minutes to 2 hours, mostly on I-95 |
| Character | Resort islands, polished small towns, a big historic city | Quieter islands, marsh, shrimp towns, wilder beaches |
| Crowds | Busier, especially Hilton Head and Charleston in summer | Lighter, except St. Simons and Jekyll on summer weekends |
| Best for | History, food and a city break | Nature, beaches and slower days |
If you’re torn, think about what Savannah has already given you. After a few days of squares and house museums, the wilder Georgia islands feel like a real change; if you’re craving more restaurants and architecture, head north.
Day Trips to South Carolina
Cross the Savannah River on the Talmadge Bridge and you’re in South Carolina’s Lowcountry within minutes. The closest stop is the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, where the free 4.5-mile Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive through old rice fields is open daily from sunrise to sunset; cars stay on the drive, and pets stay in them. It’s at its best early or late in the day, when birds are most active, and the refuge’s visitor center in Hardeeville opens weekdays from 10am to 2pm. Beyond it, these are the trips worth the drive.
Bluffton
Bluffton is the shortest South Carolina trip after the refuge, about 40 minutes away, and the most relaxed. Its Old Town sits on the May River, with galleries, small restaurants, oyster heritage and the Gothic Revival Church of the Cross above the river. Most of the action is on and around Calhoun Street, which runs down to the water. It doesn’t take a full day, so it pairs well with Hilton Head or a sunset dinner.
Plan it: About 40 minutes each way. Free to wander. Half a day, or an afternoon and dinner.
Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head is the beach-and-bike day. The island has long, wide beaches, a network of bike paths, and the red-and-white-striped lighthouse at Harbour Town, inside the Sea Pines community, which charges visitors a daily gate fee. Public beach access is easiest at the beach parks, but parking is limited and often paid, and the bridges onto the island back up on summer weekends. Go early.
There’s more to the island than golf and sand. The Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn, a former plantation, covers the island’s nature and history, and Mitchelville Freedom Park marks the site of Mitchelville, founded in 1862 as one of the first self-governing towns of freed people in the country.
Plan it: 45-60 minutes each way. Budget for beach parking and, if you want Harbour Town, the Sea Pines gate fee. Rent bikes on the island rather than bringing them.
Daufuskie Island
Daufuskie has no bridge, which is the whole point. Reached by boat from the Hilton Head side, it’s a quiet island of sandy roads, golf carts and Gullah heritage sites, a different world from its busy neighbor. The day works only if the ferry times suit you, so book the boat first and plan the rest around it.
Plan it: About 45 minutes’ drive to the ferry landing, then the crossing. Book ferry seats ahead, and check the last boat back.
Beaufort
Beaufort, about an hour from Savannah, is the best all-round day trip for history and charm. Its waterfront historic district, lined with antebellum houses and live oaks, is compact and walkable. It’s also the heart of the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park, with sites in Beaufort and on nearby St. Helena Island, including the Penn Center, founded during the Civil War as one of the first schools for formerly enslaved people.
Start at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, with its swings facing the river, then wander the streets of the Point, the neighborhood of big white houses behind it. The historic district is a National Historic Landmark, and film fans may recognize corners of it from The Big Chill and Forrest Gump, both shot in and around town. It’s quieter than Savannah and smaller, which is exactly the appeal.
Plan it: About an hour each way. Park once and walk the historic district and waterfront. Add Hunting Island for the afternoon, or St. Helena Island and the Penn Center for history.
Hunting Island State Park
Hunting Island, about 15 miles past Beaufort, is South Carolina’s wildest easy beach: miles of sand backed by maritime forest and a black-and-white lighthouse. The lighthouse reopened in 2026 after a restoration that began in 2022, so you can climb its 167 steps again.
Plan it: About 1 hour 15 minutes each way. The state park charges admission. Lighthouse climbs cost $5 per person on top of that, first come, first served, starting every 30 minutes from 9:30am to 4:30pm, weather permitting. Climbers must be at least 44 inches tall and weigh under 260 pounds.
Charleston
Charleston is the day trip everyone asks about, and the honest answer is that it deserves more than a day. It’s about 108 miles and two hours each way, so a day trip leaves you six or seven hours in a city that could fill three days: the historic district, the Battery, Rainbow Row, the markets and Fort Sumter, which you can reach only by tour boat. If you do go for the day, pick one area, park once and walk.
A good one-day route runs from the market area south through the historic district, past Rainbow Row, to the Battery and White Point Garden at the tip of the peninsula, then back up through the side streets for an early dinner before the drive home. Visitors often compare the two cities. Charleston feels more polished and busier on the sidewalks; Savannah feels looser and shadier, with its squares doing the work that Charleston’s harbor views do. Seeing both is the best argument for an overnight.
Plan it: About two hours each way; leave by 8am. Book any Fort Sumter boat ahead. Better yet, spend a night and treat Charleston and Savannah as a pair.
Day Trips Along the Georgia Coast
Heading south on I-95, the Georgia coast turns quieter and wilder, a chain of marsh and barrier islands with some of the least developed shoreline on the East Coast. The Golden Isles, about 90 minutes south, are St. Simons, Sea Island, Jekyll, Little St. Simons and the mainland city of Brunswick. Sea Island is a private resort, and Little St. Simons is reached only by boat as a guest of its lodge, so for a day trip the choice is really St. Simons or Jekyll.
Tybee Island
Savannah’s own beach, 18 miles and about 30 minutes away via US 80, is the easiest trip of all. Lifeguards cover the beaches daily from 10am to 5:30pm, May through October, and the lighthouse, the Marine Science Center and Fort Pulaski on the way make it a full day. Parking is $4 an hour or $25 for a day pass. Our Tybee Island travel guide covers the beaches, tides and rules in detail.
Fort McAllister and Richmond Hill
About 45 minutes southwest, Fort McAllister State Park preserves a Confederate earthwork fort on the Ogeechee River. Its capture by Sherman’s army on December 13, 1864, opened his supply line to the Union fleet and sealed Savannah’s fate about a week later. Its sand-and-earth walls also withstood attacks by Union ironclads earlier in the war, which is part of what makes it interesting. It’s a good half day for history fans, with marsh views and picnic spots, and the town of Richmond Hill has places to eat nearby.
Plan it: About 45 minutes each way. The state park charges a parking fee; check the Georgia State Parks site for fort hours before you go. For the bigger story, see our guide to Savannah’s history.
Darien and Brunswick
Darien, about an hour south, is a small shrimping town on the Altamaha River, with shrimp boats at the docks and Fort King George State Historic Site, a reconstructed British fort from the 1720s. Between Darien and Brunswick, Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation State Historic Site tells the story of a rice plantation and the enslaved people who worked it. Brunswick, a little farther, has a historic downtown laid out with squares and a working waterfront. Darien itself has a hard history: Union troops burned the town in 1863, an episode later dramatized in the film Glory. Together they make a history-and-seafood day, or a stop on the way to the islands.
Plan it: 1-1.25 hours each way. Check state historic site hours and fees before you go; not every site opens every day.
Sapelo Island
Sapelo is one of the most remarkable places on the Georgia coast and one of the hardest to visit, by design. There’s no bridge. A state-run passenger ferry leaves from Meridian, 8 miles northeast of Darien off Georgia Highway 99, and public visitors go only on guided tours run by private operators, checking in first at the visitor center, or as pre-registered guests of island landowners. The island is home to Hog Hammock, one of the few remaining Gullah Geechee communities on the coast, along with the R.J. Reynolds Mansion, the Sapelo Lighthouse and long empty beaches. Most of the island belongs to the state and is managed for research and conservation, which is why it looks the way it does.
Plan it: About 1 hour 15 minutes to the Meridian dock. Book a tour well ahead; tours run on set days. The ferry doesn’t run on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas.
St. Simons Island
St. Simons, about 90 minutes south, is the most lived-in of the Golden Isles, with a village of shops and restaurants by the pier. Climb the St. Simons Lighthouse, then drive to Fort Frederica National Monument, where the National Park Service preserves the archaeological remains of the town Oglethorpe founded in 1736 to guard Georgia’s southern frontier. Nearby, Christ Church, Frederica, stands where the Wesley brothers preached to the colonists in 1736, in a churchyard shaded by live oaks. Then head back to the Pier Village for lunch and a walk on the pier. It’s a satisfying day, but the island’s easy pace rewards a night.
Plan it: About 1.5 hours each way. No fee to enter the island. Pair it with Jekyll for a two-day Golden Isles trip.
Jekyll Island
Jekyll Island is owned by the State of Georgia and managed to stay mostly undeveloped, which makes it one of the best beach days on the coast. The big sights are Driftwood Beach, where storm-killed trees stand on the sand; the Jekyll Island Club Historic District, once the winter retreat of families like the Rockefellers and Pulitzers; and the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Driftwood Beach is best at lower tides, when there’s more sand to walk.
The island is flat and has more than 20 miles of bike paths, which makes cycling the best way to link the sights. Along the way you can stop at the Horton House, the tabby ruins of one of Georgia’s oldest buildings, and at Mosaic, the Jekyll Island Museum, for the story of the island’s millionaire era. The beaches on the Atlantic side are wide and rarely crowded outside summer weekends.
Plan it: About 1.5 hours each way. Every vehicle pays a parking fee to enter the island: $10 a day, or $15 on designated special-event days. Bring bikes or rent them; the island is flat and laced with paths.
Cumberland Island: Is It Realistic in a Day?
Cumberland Island National Seashore, with its wild horses, ruined Carnegie mansion at Dungeness and empty beaches, is the trip people dream about. It’s doable from Savannah in a day, but only if you accept a very early start and a hard deadline at the other end.
The ferry leaves St. Marys, about two hours south of Savannah, at 9am and 11:45am. The crossing takes 45 minutes, and you must check in at the visitor center an hour before departure. Return boats leave the island at 2:45pm, when that sailing runs, and 4:45pm. So a day trip means leaving Savannah by about 6am for the 9am boat, reaching the island around 9:45am, and catching the 4:45pm boat back: about seven hours on the island and home by 8pm. There are no stores on the island, so bring all your food and water.
On foot, a day visitor sees the south end: the Dungeness ruins, the marsh, the beach and, very likely, the horses. The north end, with the Plum Orchard mansion and the tiny First African Baptist Church where John F. Kennedy Jr. married in 1996, is too far to walk in a day. Guided vehicle tours go there on some days and must be booked ahead.
Plan it: Ferry fares are $40 for adults, $38 for seniors 62 and up, $30 for ages 15 and under, and free for 5 and under, plus 7% Georgia sales tax. The park entrance fee is $10 per adult. Reserve the ferry ahead through the ferry operator at 912-882-4335. The verdict: worth it for nature lovers who don’t mind the hours, but far better with a night in St. Marys.
Sample Day Plans
Here’s how the four most-asked-about trips play out on the clock, assuming normal traffic.
| Trip | Leave Savannah | The day | Home by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beaufort and Hunting Island | 8:30am | Beaufort’s waterfront and historic district in the morning, lunch in town, then Hunting Island’s beach and lighthouse (last climbs at 4:30pm) | About 7pm |
| Jekyll Island | 8am | Driftwood Beach at the lower tide, the historic district and Sea Turtle Center at midday, a bike ride or beach time in the afternoon | About 6:30pm |
| Charleston | 7:30am | Park once; walk the historic district, Rainbow Row and the Battery; early dinner | About 9pm |
| Cumberland Island | 6am | Check in by 8am for the 9am ferry; Dungeness ruins, the beach and the horses; the 4:45pm ferry back | About 8pm |
What Day Trips Cost
Beyond gas and food, most trips cost little. Cumberland Island is the exception.
| Trip | Fees for two adults |
|---|---|
| Tybee Island | $25 parking day pass, plus $28 if you both climb the lighthouse |
| Fort Pulaski, on the way to Tybee | $20 |
| Jekyll Island | $10 parking fee ($15 on special-event days) |
| Hunting Island | State park admission, plus $10 for two lighthouse climbs |
| Cumberland Island | $105.60: ferry fares of $85.60 with tax, plus $20 in park entrance fees |
| Charleston | Downtown parking, plus any tours or boats |
For a family of four with two children between 6 and 15, Cumberland Island comes to $169.80 in ferry fares and entrance fees, since the park fee applies to adults only.
The Best Day Trips by Season
| Season | Best trips | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (March-May) | Charleston, Beaufort, Cumberland Island, St. Simons | Busy weekends; book ferries early |
| Summer (June-August) | Tybee, Hunting Island, Jekyll, Hilton Head | Heat, afternoon storms, bridge traffic; hurricane season from June 1 |
| Fall (September-November) | All of them; the best season for island trips | The hurricane peak around September 10 |
| Winter (December-February) | Charleston, Beaufort, Fort McAllister, the quieter islands | Cold water, short days and reduced hours at some sites |
What We’d Skip
Some day-trip plans look good on a map and fall apart on the road. Don’t try Charleston and Hilton Head in the same day; you’ll see the inside of your car and not much else. Skip Cumberland Island if you can’t leave Savannah by about 6am, because the later ferry leaves too little time on the island. Don’t drive to Meridian hoping to wander Sapelo on your own; without a tour booking or a resident host, you won’t get on the boat. And Brunswick on its own isn’t worth two and a half hours of round-trip driving, though it’s a fine lunch stop on the way to Jekyll or St. Simons.
Day Trips by Traveler Type
| If you want | Go to |
|---|---|
| A beach with the least effort | Tybee Island |
| A wilder beach | Hunting Island or Jekyll Island’s Driftwood Beach |
| History | Beaufort and the Penn Center, Fort McAllister, Fort Frederica on St. Simons |
| Gullah Geechee heritage | St. Helena Island near Beaufort, Sapelo Island on a tour, Daufuskie Island |
| Wildlife | Cumberland Island’s horses, the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge |
| A day with kids | Tybee, Hunting Island’s lighthouse, Jekyll’s Sea Turtle Center |
| Food and small towns | Bluffton, Beaufort, Darien’s shrimp docks |
| A big city | Charleston, ideally with a night there |

Road Trips: When to Stay Overnight
Some of the best coastal trips are really road trips. Three combinations work especially well:
- Charleston and Beaufort, two or three nights. Drive to Beaufort for lunch and Hunting Island for the afternoon, spend the night, then continue to Charleston for a night or two. Beaufort to Charleston is about 70 miles, roughly an hour and 20 minutes. It turns the most rushed day trip into the best stretch of coast in South Carolina.
- The Golden Isles, two or three nights. Darien on the way south, a night on St. Simons, a day on Jekyll, then St. Marys for an early Cumberland Island ferry and back north. The hops are short: St. Simons to Jekyll is about 30 minutes, and Jekyll to St. Marys about 45.
- Hilton Head and Bluffton, one night. Beach and bikes by day, dinner on the May River, and a morning on Daufuskie if the ferry schedule fits.
Practical Tips: Traffic, Tides, Weather and Timing
- Leave early. I-95 slows around Savannah at rush hour, and beach traffic builds on summer weekends. An 8am start buys you the best of the day.
- Check the tides for beach walks. Driftwood Beach and the sandbars at Tybee and Hunting Island are at their best on a falling or low tide.
- Watch the weather. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and ferries can cancel for storms or high winds. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms.
- Carry a card and some cash. Park and island fees are mostly paid by card or app, but small operators and some ferries prefer cash.
- Don’t cram. One destination done properly beats three glimpsed through the windshield.

Day Trips From Savannah FAQ
What is the best day trip from Savannah?
For most people, Beaufort, South Carolina, about an hour away: a walkable historic waterfront, Reconstruction-era history and Hunting Island’s beach and lighthouse nearby. For a beach day, Tybee is closest at 30 minutes, and Jekyll Island, about 90 minutes south, is the best wild-beach day. Charleston is better with a night.
Can you do Charleston as a day trip from Savannah?
You can, but it’s rushed. Charleston is about 108 miles and two hours each way, leaving six or seven hours in the city. Leave by 8am, pick one area such as the historic district and the Battery, and park once. If you can, spend at least one night; Charleston fills two or three days easily.
How far is Hilton Head from Savannah?
About 45 minutes to an hour by car, depending on where on the island you’re going and on bridge traffic, which gets heavy on summer weekends. Hilton Head is in South Carolina. Beach parking is limited and often paid, and the Sea Pines community, home of the Harbour Town lighthouse, charges visitors a gate fee.
Can you visit Cumberland Island in a day from Savannah?
Yes, with an early start. Drive two hours to St. Marys, check in an hour before the 9am ferry, and take the 4:45pm boat back, for about seven hours on the island. Fares are $40 for adults plus a $10 park entrance fee. Reserve ahead, and bring food and water, since there are no stores.
Do you need a car for day trips from Savannah?
Realistically, yes. Public transit doesn’t serve these destinations, and there’s no regular bus even to Tybee. Rent a car for the day; the airport has nine rental companies in baggage claim. For ferry islands, you’ll still need to drive to the dock.
What’s the closest beach to Savannah?
Tybee Island, 18 miles and about 30 minutes east of downtown via US 80. Lifeguards are on duty daily from 10am to 5:30pm, May through October. Parking costs $4 an hour or $25 a day, and the island bans glass and dogs on the beach.
Is Beaufort, South Carolina worth a day trip?
Yes. It’s about an hour from Savannah, with a compact waterfront historic district, antebellum houses and the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park, including the Penn Center on St. Helena Island. Add Hunting Island State Park, about 15 miles farther, for a beach and a lighthouse climb.
