Georgia is such a diverse state with a wide array of climates and environments. From the beaches to the mountains, we’ve got all kinds of scenery and so many amazing attractions to enjoy.

Check it out:

Google Maps The entire trip will take about six and a half hours of driving time. You’ll get to see a good chunk of the state, including our beautiful beaches and magnificent mountains, plus some of our best cities. Check out the full itinerary on Google Maps. It’s customizable, so you can add or subtract stops if you want to adjust the trip.

  1. Tybee Island

Dawn Meredith/Flickr Tybee Island has some of the best beaches in Georgia. It’s a charming little city that has some great shops and restaurants, and there are wide sandy areas where you can lay out and enjoy the sun. You can even climb to the top of the lighthouse for some really spectacular views! Tybee Island, GA 31328, USA

  1. Forsyth Park: 2 W Gaston St, Savannah, GA 31401

subherwal/Flickr Forsyth Park may not be quite as famous as some of the great state and national parks in Georgia, but it’s definitely worth a visit while you’re in the area. The 30-acre park is a magnificent oasis of greenery in the middle of Savannah’s historic district. Walk along the perimeter of the park and you’ll get great views of some of the most historic homes in Georgia. Savannah’s a great place to stop for the night, and there are plenty of hotels in the downtown area. Forsyth Park, 2 W Gaston St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA

  1. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park: 1207 Emery Hwy, Macon, GA 31217

Stephen Rahn/Flickr Your next stop on this epic road trip through Georgia will take you about two hours north to Macon. It’s one of the largest cities in the state, and it’s got a fascinating history. One place where you can learn about ancient history is the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park. The park details thousands of years of American Indian history. There’s an on site archaeological museum that’s filled with interesting artifacts. If you’ve got the time, spend the night in Macon: it’s a surprisingly fun city that doesn’t get quite as much publicity as Savannah or Atlanta.

  1. Marietta Square: 99 S Park Square NE, Marietta, GA 30060

J. Stephen Conn/Flickr After another couple of hours of driving, you’ll hit Marietta. This Atlanta suburb has a ton of history and lots of green areas, including the allegedly haunted Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield, which is now a national park. The city square has been revitalized within the last few years and is a great option for checking out local shops or restaurants. There’s even a giant food hall that’s over 18,500 square feet!

  1. Unicoi State Park: 1788 GA-356, Helen, GA 30545

savoryexposure/Flickr We’ll end this epic road trip through Georgia up in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. The secluded and gorgeous Unicoi State Park is a sprawling 1,000-acre paradise. It’s filled with trails, waterfalls, and opportunities for adventure like kayaking or ziplining. It’s also a great option for glamping in Georgia if you’d like to spend the night!
