14 days in Savannah & Hilton Head Itinerary

Step off the beaten path and head to Pin Point Heritage Museum and Shannon Scott Tours. Change things up with these side-trips from Savannah: St. Helena's Anglican Church (in Beaufort) and Old Sheldon Church Ruins (in Yemassee). There's still lots to do: explore the different monuments and memorials at Colonial Park Cemetery, look for all kinds of wild species at Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, learn about all things military at National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, and examine the collection at Georgia State Railroad Museum.

Newark to Savannah is an approximately 4-hour flight. You can also drive; or take a train. Prepare for a bit warmer weather when traveling from Newark in April: high temperatures in Savannah hover around 77°F and lows are around 57°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 22nd (Sat) early enough to drive to Hilton Head.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Sea Pines Forest Preserve and Hunting Island Lighthouse. Get out of town with these interesting Hilton Head side-trips: Beaufort (Bay Street, Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, &more). There's still lots to do: head outdoors with Outdoor Activities, identify plant and animal life at Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, play a few rounds at Harbour Town Golf Links at Sea Pines, and pause for some serene contemplation at The Church of the Cross.
