Opening to the Public in the Fall of 2026

Melon Bluff Nature Center is a beautiful 450-acre nature preserve on the Georgia Coast. Its purpose is to preserve the vanishing coastal wilderness, its wildlife, and its important history. Instead of destroying this unspoiled beauty with development, we prefer to offer it as a place to learn and explore. The Melon Bluff Nature Center will be open Friday through Sunday and holiday Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for hiking, mountain biking, and birding. Self-guided nature and heritage trails maps can be used to navigate the property by foot and by bike. Melon Bluff staff can also arrange picnics, group outings, and parties. The Melon Bluff Nature Center features exhibits and educational programs, restrooms, and parking. See our ‘Contact’ and ‘Visit’ pages for more information.
