Best Outdoor Activities in Savannah
- Baseball. A baseball game under a summer sky is an all-American pleasure. It's also a family-bonding opportunity, and the Savannah Bananas (a Coastal Plain League team) offer competitions and fun hijinks for the whole crew. Buy a hot dog and a frozen banana and join in the fun. There are fireworks on Saturday night, so you can double your fun for the cost of admission.
- Biking. Forsyth and Daffin parks are favored destinations for locals. Tom Triplett Park, east of town on U.S. 80, offers three bike loops—3.5 miles, 5 miles, and 6.3 miles. You can explore quaint Tybee Island by bike for nearly half of what it costs to rent a bike downtown.
- Golf. The weather here, particularly in the spring and fall, is custom ordered for a round or two of golf. Though the courses aren't as well regarded as those on Hilton Head, players looking for a challenge can count on gems like the Westin's Club at Savannah Harbor and the Wilmington Island Club, both of which are more moderately priced than the Hilton Head courses.
- Water Sports. Water sports are the obvious choice for a city surrounded by rivers, creeks, marshes, and the Atlantic Ocean. Kayaking, sailing, stand-up paddle boarding, and kiteboarding are all popular, and there are plenty of options for guided tours, charter boats, and equipment rental (if you haven’t brought your own).
