Cumberland Island Named One of TripAdvisor’s Best Beaches in America

June 2, 2008 by Susanne Talentino

Cumberland Island was chosen by TripAdvisor®, the world’s largest travel community, as one of its top ten beaches in America. The winners were determined based on TripAdvisor’s Popularity Index and TripAdvisor editors.

Featuring miles of peaceful and quiet beachfront, Cumberland Island Seashore has a uniquely isolated, undiscovered feel. The beach is ideal for swimming, or to just enjoy a quiet time basking in the sun. As one TripAdvisor traveler shared, “Cumberland Island is one of the most beautiful unspoiled beaches on the east coast. The white sand that extends for miles of endless beach is sublime.”

“These spectacular beaches stand out for their world-class sand, breathtaking water, and all-around relaxing environments,” said Michele Perry, director of communications for TripAdvisor. “Many of these beaches are off the beaten path, so travelers should pack their beach bags and head there before word gets out.”

For the TripAdvisor reviews on Cumberland Island go to Cumberland Island National Seashore, Cumberland Island, Georgia.
