My Yellow Bluff

Discover the beauty and ambience of Yellow Bluff on the coast of Georgia. Follow the prevailing southerly winds and Atlantic seabreezes to historic Liberty County, 30 minutes south of Savannah and 10 minutes from the Intercoastal Waterway and I-95. You’ll find an almost forgotten high bluff with breathtaking views of Ashley Creek, vibrant golden marshes, and St. Catherine’s and Ossabaw Island across the way. Check back here often to see the latest posts by Debbie Brown from the bluff.
