There are plenty of ways to carve out some island time. From low-cost camping options to glamorous getaways, options abound. Here are five to consider.

Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia

Bypass the crowds and head for the Cumberland Island National Seashore, the state’s largest and southernmost barrier island. Pristine beaches, mud flats, dune fields and salt marshes provide respite for shore birds, sea turtles, wild turkeys and wild horses. Kayak, fish, hike and bike by day. Enjoy the bounty of stars visible from your family's campsite. (No other lodging is available on the island.) A 30-minute, daily dockside program offers insight into the island's history, culture and ecosystem. Other lengthier tours are also possible. Check the website for times and availability.
