[St. Marys, GA] – Cumberland Island National Seashore (NS) is announcing additional modifications to operations in response to guidance from county and state health officials.  The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners is our number one priority.

Effective Friday, April 3, 2020, Cumberland Island NS will be closed to all park visitors until further notice. This includes park facilities, grounds, trails, docks, and beaches.
