Located in an historic residential community, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Isle of Hope Marina sits on the southeast side of Savannah.
Isle of Hope was first settled in the mid-1700s when the English Parliament deeded equal portions of the island to three noblemen who were to build fortifications to protect the young Georgia colony from a Spanish invasion by water. The ruins of one of these early plantations, Wormsloe, are preserved in a state park just a short distance from the marina. In the early 1800s Isle of Hope became the summer playground for Savannah's elite, and "Cottages", such as the one pictured above, were built along the now famous Bluff Drive.
Not far away, the Historic District of Savannah is buzzing with creativity, art, culture and live theatre and is the perfect place for you to spend a weekend or a lifetime. Many people who visit end up falling in love with Savannah and move here to live in one of the oldest cities in America - a site of many famous Revolutionary & Civil War Battles. Hundreds of interesting sites to see including more than twenty city squares, monuments, parks, Historic Homes, Churches & Forts and the largest National Historic Landmark District in the USA!
