Her fame spread internationally when, in 1996, JFK, Jr. wed there in the tiny First African Baptist Church. She is an island of pristine sandy beaches and ancient oak canopies. She is an island of grandeur made richer by the voices of her past that beckon. You will come to her, perhaps, in search of quiet splendor. And you will leave with a mystical sense of wonder that will live in your heart for years to come.
St. Marys is the Gateway to spectacular Cumberland Island. From the dock of St. Marys’ Waterfront, visitors board the Cumberland Lady for camping or day trips to enjoy swimming, shelling, fishing, wild horses, loggerhead sea turtles and much more on 17 miles of
pristine white sandy beaches.
