Cumberland Island is only accessible by boat via the Cumberland Island Ferry and is located just seven miles east of St. Marys. Our short 45-minute ferry ride makes for a scenic and pleasant form of transportation to the island. Our concession-operated passenger ferry departs from downtown St. Marys throughout the day and provides round-trip transportation services to Cumberland Island year-round.

On the Cumberland Island Ferry you can explore and photograph the intercoastal waterways, historic structures, hike through maritime forests. Enjoy beautiful beaches, scour the shoreline after a strong storm, camp in the backcountry or wilderness, enjoy a calm sunset and gaze at the unobstructed views of the stars. Whatever your adventure may be, you’ll find it on Cumberland Island.
