Summer kicks off in full swing in the greater Savannah/Low Country area, and June is packed with outdoor fun, cultural festivals, live music, and local flavor.

June is one of the best times to bring the family to vacation in the Lowcountry.

Families can stroll along Savannah’s iconic River Street, book a boating or dolphin tour along the Intracoastal Waterway, explore interactive exhibits at the Savannah Children’s Museum, or tee off at top-rated golf courses in Bluffton and Hilton Head.

Whether you're hunting for seashells on Tybee Island, biking through Jekyll, or enjoying a riverfront dinner in Beaufort, June offers something for every age and interest in the Lowcountry.
