Skip the classic mistake
Trying to drive a Class C or Class A through Forsyth Park or the squares grid (Bay, Bull, Drayton, Abercorn) to reach a Historic District restaurant.
Best window: Mid-October through May 15: highs 65-78 F, low hurricane risk. Trade-off: St. Patrick's…
The Savannah window to avoid
August through October: peak Atlantic hurricane window; humidity oppressive.
What that mistake costs
Tight one-way streets, low-hanging Spanish moss (often below 11 ft), and the HDVR 20-ft cap mean tow recovery from a stuck rig in the squares grid runs $400-$900 plus citation. Visitor Center lot and shuttle is the only safe route.
Day one, after you pick the rig up
- Confirm Skidaway Island SP, Fort McAllister, CreekFire, or KOA reservation BEFORE driving in; St. Patrick's Day fills 12 months ahead.
- Identify hurricane evacuation route (I-95 N or I-16 W) before check-in June-November.
- Top off propane at AmeriGas Pooler (126 Pine Meadow) before any Florida or Carolina coast run.
