says it all: We’re glad Georgia’s on your mind. More than just a state to zip through on one of many interstate high- ways, Georgia is a place to savor slowly. From the pristine coastal region, with its sun-drenched beaches and live oaks, to the mountains, where icy streams carve up the rocky terrain, Georgia has something to offer almost everyone. Coastal treasures include the Gold-
en Isles, which encompass the town of Brunswick and the beautiful barrier islands that surround it: Sea Island, Jekyll Island, St. Simons and Little St. Simons. Just to the north, the port city of Savannah is a grande dame rich
with history and atmosphere. Tybee Island, Savannah’s beach town, is an eclectic mix of old and new, sophisti- cated and sometimes slightly shabby but always a great place to settle. A bit inland, Augusta sits on the Savannah River, at the South Carolina border. Georgia is beautifully unspoiled and boasts a number of hidden gems, including the peaceful Altamaha River in the southeastern corner of the state. Te Altamaha is included on Te Na- ture Conservancy’s list of the 75 “Last Great Places” of the world and is the largest water system east of the Missis- sippi. As such, it is lush with wildlife such as the soaring bald eagles, the

shy red-cockaded woodpeckers and, a local favorite, the flathead catfish. Another wonderful place to ex-
plore is Cumberland Island, a barrier island that is a protected National Seashore and has been listed as one of the Travel Channel’s best Ameri- can beaches. Accessible only by ferry, Cumberland offers a glimpse into Georgia’s fascinating past. In spite of its close proximity to
Florida, where it is perpetually summer, Georgia offers the perfect combination of a temperate climate and seasonal changes. With its lush landscape and genteel Southern ways, it is no wonder Georgia is on so many minds these days.
