The top two photos show you most of downtown St. Marys. Most of "modern"business, Walmart, McDonalds, and the like are miles to the west. Downtown has a couple of restaurants, souvenir shops, a quaint submarine museum, and National Park Offices for Cumberland Island, a barrier island, and the dock for the boat that takes you there.
It is one of those towns that is just wonderful for a stroll. The riverfront is a mix of parks and business and the nearby neighborhoods have a mix of early 20th-Century houses.
The town sits a near as possible to the extreme southeast corner of Georgia. Fernandia Beach on Amelia Island in Florida is visible from the riverfront. Like many seacoast towns there is a small theater company among other arts activities.
We stayed here in January and February this year and will be here until the end of the year. It is a good base for visiting the barrier islands and sites inland such as Okefenokee Swamp.
