If you're new to the area or have lived here your whole life, there is always something new to discover down her in Coastal Georgia.
Being born and raised in North Georgia and South Georgia my whole life, I am constantly shocked to find that there are so many things I haven't discovered.
I did the digging so you don't have to, found all the spots and events you want to hit this summer so you can enjoy the last few weeks of summer and your roommates!
Things to do in STATESBORO!One word....DOWNTOWN. You have to see what Downtown Statesboro is working on, they have been busy at work and it is paying off! The amount of new little shops and goodies that have popped up in the last year is wild.

When was the last time you went to GSU Botanical Gardens? Too long ago in my opinion.

Go to Tybee Island! Where you can drink some coffee on the beach, try the sliders from Fannys, get a Call a Cab from Wet Willies and roll around in the sun! I can personably say that I love Tybee more than any other beach on the East coast. People watching is fantastic here, the food comes in huge portions and the drinks are strong. Best of all, the sand and the water is relaxing and gives you the most beautiful sunsets you've ever seen!

You could always drop by River Street, there is so much to see! Good food, beautiful views, fun picture opportunities and a chance to see the beautiful people and nature of Savannah.
