The local area is awash with activities of every description.  In addition to Laurel Island Links golf course, immediately adjacent to the west, there are literally dozens of golf courses within 45 minutes of the island.  17 miles of secluded white sand beaches, beautiful live oak forests, and the sight of wild horses roaming among historic ruins await you on nearby Cumberland Island National Seashore- a mere 15 minutes away by boat or a short ferry ride from the nearby historic port town of St. Marys.  Well known for its bird watching, the area also boasts a rich diversity of marine life, including dolphins, manatees, and a broad range of game fish.  Camden County is home to a wide variety of excellent restaurants, serving local favorites, such as oysters, soft-shell crab, low-country boils, and Bruswick Stew.  Beyond this, and just a short 30 to 45 minutes by car from Laurel Island Township along I-95, a universe of fine dining is available in Jacksonville, Fernandina, and St. Simons.

Just 30 minutes away by car, the National Park Service offers daily, guided boat tours up the Suwanee Canal and into the famous, “Land of the Trembling Earth,” the 500,000 Okefenokee National Swamp Park.  Here, black bears, alligators, whitetail deer, and an incredible diversity of bird life await day visitors and campers.
