I was able to receive reservations for Beach Side camping at Cumberland Island National Seashore. It is between the boarders of Florida and Georgia, From 2/27--3/2 (Sunday-Wed) We can leave on the Tuesday or stay the Wed depending on what people want to do. We will take the Sea Kayaks and paddle to the campsite-I currently do not know the milage but it should be an easy paddle. Anyone interested will probably have to take there car with the Kayaks on-top or we can double the Kayaks up on-top of cars.
Attached is a map of Cumberland island
