A Small Corner of Heaven
Having come to St Marys from Canada, I was unsure as to how I would adjust to the cultural differences that I anticipated. What I have found is an extraordinary town of generous and welcoming people within an environment that is, quite simply, breathtaking. The quiet harbor, endless marsh vistas, charming historic streets and magical Live Oaks create a fitting setting for people of inordinate charm, devotion to their community and love for their families. As the gateway to Cumberland Island - a protected wonderland of pristine doons, old growth forest, wild horses and picturesque ruins - St Marys is, indeed, the "jewel of the Deep South".
