This charming waterfront park features a 180-foot fishing pier as well as a large boat ramp and plenty of parking. With a playground, restrooms, water fountains, picnic areas, and a stage along the waterfront, this park serves as the town center for St. Marys. It is the location of many festivals and events. Shops and restaurants of all sorts are a short walk from the docks. Launch your canoe or kayak and enjoy some peaceful time fishing or paddling. This is also where visitors catch the ferry to the historic and pristine Cumberland Island State Park. Photo courtesy of saltchef.com.
