More About St. Marys

Living in St. Marys, Georgia is like being wrapped in a quiet, coastal embrace. It’s a small town where life moves at a gentler pace, and the rhythm is set by tides, not traffic. Located on the edge of the St. Marys River with views of the marshlands and easy access to the ocean, it’s a haven for boaters, fishermen, and anyone who finds peace near the water.

The historic downtown area is full of charm—brick sidewalks, quaint shops, local cafes, and historic homes shaded by sprawling oaks. Neighbors know each other by name, and community events like festivals and farmers markets bring people together often. There’s a strong sense of pride in the town’s heritage, especially its deep connection to the sea and nearby Cumberland Island, which you can reach by ferry for hiking, camping, or spotting wild horses.

St. Marys is quiet but not sleepy. It offers a peaceful lifestyle with just enough restaurants, good schools, and outdoor activities to keep things interesting. The military presence from nearby Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base also adds a unique dynamic, bringing in families from all over the country.

It’s the kind of place where you can still see stars at night, hear frogs singing after a summer rain, and feel like you’re part of something rooted and real.
