Cumberland Island National Seashore

Cumberland is an Atlantic coastal barrier island that protects the mainland from the raging ocean storms. This 16-mile-long island contains several typical maritime habitats. The tidal Spartina grass marshes along the inland edge of the island function as nurseries for much of the marine life of the near shore Atlantic Ocean. The interior is live oak or pine canopy with dense palmetto understory opened by trails which are clearly marked and maintained. The dunes are composed of young shifting sands or old forested sands. Interdune meadows separate these two habitat types, the shifting dunes giving way to a spectacularly beautiful beach. Freshwater and brackish water sloughs form between the ancient dunes and provide excellent habitat for American alligators and wading birds.
