Park headquarters is the visitor gateway to wild Cumberland Island — photograph the historic ranger station, interpretive displays, ferry dock, salt-marsh vistas and the quaint waterfront town of St. Marys. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light on marsh grasses and boats. Reserve ferry tickets in advance; parking is available nearby. Accessible by car with short walks; minimal facilities on the island itself. Cultural note: respect protected habitats and seasonal nesting closures.
