Isle of Hope Historic District

Escape to Isle of Hope, a charming waterfront community tucked into the marshes of Savannah, GA. Dating back to Colonial times, discover its unique blend of history and coastal tranquility.

Isle of Hope is an historic water-front community located right on the Skidaway river that dates back to colonial times.
Throughout the 1800’s Isle of Hope was a community of mainly farmers and fishermen, but sometime around the early 1900’s it became a very popular summer resort for Savannah’s wealthier families.

The main attraction of Isle of Hope is the iconic Bluff Drive which runs right along the Skidaway river and is lined with historic estate homes immersed in storybook charm.

Located in the center of Bluff Drive is the historic Isle of Hope marina, which is one of Georgia’s official stops along the Atlantic Intracoastal waterway. This gives you easy access to open water for deep-sea fishing, sailing, dolphin watching, and easy beach access to any one of coastal Georgia’s beautiful barrier islands.
