The Squares of Downtown Savannah
DESCRIPTION: Designed at the founding of Savannah, the city was blessed with two dozen square-block photogenic parks, each over 260 years of age; all the National Landmark squares measure 200 feet from north to south, but they vary east to west from approximately 100 to 300 feet; each square is intersected north-south and east-west by wide, two-way streets. They are bounded to the west and east by the south- and north-bound lanes of the intersecting north-south street, and to the north and south by smaller one-way streets running east-to-west and west-to-east, respectively -- as a result, traffic flows counterclockwise around the squares like traffic circles; most squares are named in honor or in memory of a person, persons or historical event, and many contain monuments, markers, memorials, statues, plaques, and other tributes; our favorite squares are along Bryan Street and State Street where you they are surrounded by historically restored mansions; unfortuantely 2 of the original squares have been lost to development

Forsyth Park
DESCRIPTION: Forsyth was the first large park created in Savannah and was influenced by the urban renewal of Paris in the nineteenth century, when broad boulevards and parks were created; the success of Forsyth Park greatly influenced city planning throughout the United States, as more cities sought to develop large parks by the 1850's; today as the main park of Savannah, it frequently hosts concerts and festivals; even without big events, the park is full of joggers, srtrollers, dramatic sculptures, a picturesque fountain and so many unique characters you could fill a book -- actually, sometone already has; no wonder bed & breakfasts and boutique hotels love to circle around it

Tybee Island Beach
DESCRIPTION: Sun, sea and summer breezes have a charm all their own; when you can combine all that with a taste of history, there's a surefire draw to Tybee Island. The little beachfront colony is only 18 miles from historic downtown Savannah, Georgia, but it doesn't get lost in the more dramatic lures of one of the top tourist cities in the country. The island is a year-round haven for a few thousand citizens. During spring and summer, the population swells when summer breezes send the scent of fresh salt air toward the city
