SAVANNAH BEACH—
Georgia’s Kingdom of Surf and Sun
At the eastern end of U.S. Highway 80, only 18 miles from historic
Savannah, over a beautiful palm-lined drive studded with tropical
oleanders, lies Savannah Beach, on Tybee Island.
Savannah Beach is an ideal spot for vacations, with miles of hard
sandy beach for sun and surf bathing, as well as being an all-year resort
offering every amusement of the metropolitan areas.
Fishing is at its best here. From the ocean pier, the surf, a bateau or
a deep sea yacht, every convenience is available for the vacationer's
pleasure. The many fishing camps located right on the Island offer
boats and experienced guides.
For the greatest fun, if you like the sport, crabbing is enjoyed by
many who like to dip them up along the Beach from boats or docks.
Seeing the rows and rows of hotels, apartments, cottages and res
taurants, you will recognize instantly that Savannah Beach is not just
a place for a day’s vacation but a place of family fun for weeks-and
months.
For an interesting diversion from the sea and sand, take a motor
tour around the vicinity of the Beach. Fort Pulaski National Monu
ment, now restored, but still bearing marks of its 80-hour bombard
ment by the Union soldiers, contains some of the finest brick archwork
of its kind.
Bonaventure Cemetery, north of Fort Pulaski, Is famous, wherever
Savannah is known, for its moss-hung arching live oaks, wisteria and
azaleas of every hue.
Don’t fail to ride along Victory Drive, just south of Bonaventure.
Lined with azaleas and palm trees, it is believed to be the*world’s long
est palm-lined drive.
If it’s a vacation of sun and fun you are seeking, try Savannah
Beach this year. It's guaranteed.

GAME
AND
FISH
By FULTON LOVELL
Clark Hill is Georgia’s largest lake. It isn’t the
biggest wholly in the state (Lake Lanier holds that
title) but this enormous, 78,500 acre reservojr is
still the largest if you count the portion in South
Carolina.
Anyhow, Clark Hill is one of the finest fishing
spots to be found anywhere. Most anglers may argue
the point after a rather fruitless spring, but overall
it’s a pretty good fishing lake.
One reason for its good population of bass,
bream and crappie is the abundance of deep
valleys and hillops that were flooded when the
dam was completed.
This provides a varied habitat for the different
types of fish in the liYLe.
Fishery biologists are excited over the possi-
bihties new Lake Hartwell will make in Clark Hill
after its water is impounded.
Cold water discharged from the Hartwell
dam will chill the Savannah river and Clark
Hill, opening avenues to many exciting pros
pects.
Sauger stocked this spring by the Game and
Pish Department is expected to furnish topflight
fishing in a year or two.
Hartwell will also help to stabilize Clark Hill's
water level, a thing that will be greeted cheerfully
by anglers. J
Another exciting development at Clark Hill
has been the increasing numbers of white bass
to show up.
Stocked four years ago, the largest number ol
wnities in history showed up this spring and anglers
are taking a few now in open water.
Biologists are looking for even better things
from this fish, since they feel that summer and fall
fishing has yet to reach its peak.
Clark Hill provides some of the best black
bass fishing in the country. The bass are es
pecially heavy, averaging from two to three
pounds each.
June is the best month to catch ’em. April rates
a close second. Peak fall fishing is in October and
November.
Clark Hill’s bream are nothing to brag about.
They run small and runty but bream never seem
to grow large in deep water because they are mostly
bottom feeders.
Clark Hill’s water is low in oxvgen due to its
depth and furnishes little insect life for bream
to feed on.
One of the most important things about this sec-
uon is its public access. The entire lake is dotted
with good roads and the Corps of Engineers provide
nice recreational areas near the lake shore.
too. It can also mean developing
a new interest that will not only
make a memorable vacation but
lwill also provide for stimulating
I weekends throughout the summer
months this year and for years to
come.
What Is a vacation anyway? It
doesn’t mean necessarily a two-
week trip to some highly advertis
ed resort or an extended and ex
pensive stay on some exotic island
A vacation may be just a weekend,
or even a day at some enjoyable
spot. And it need not be expensive
| Georgia is loaded with places to
relax and enjoy many forms of
recreation. And Georgians are for
tunate that the state has provided
so many delightful and enjoyable
state parks where the whole fam
ily can find true recreation.
Take fishing, for instance. Geor
gia probably has better fishing of
all types than any other state -•
from the terrific thrill of landing a
delectable trout in the cold streams
of north Georgia, to the big bass
in most of the man-made lakes, to
the warmouth in the southern
swamp region -• or even the Span
ish mackeral or flounder off the
Georgia coast. Can any other state
offer that variety, with anywhere |
near the “take” record?
| And there photography, which
'offers great possibilities as a crea
tive outdoor activity. The beginner
need not invest heavily in expen
sive equipment, but can start with
a relatively modest-priced camera
and still get excellent results from
Georgia’s wealth of subject mat
ter -- from the deep canyons of
Dade to the white sands of St. Si-
i mons. Can you think of a better
subject than Tallulah Falls or the
'ante-bellum homes of Washington.
:the picturesque campus of Berry-
Schools at Rome, or the Indian
mounds at Macon?
And the places that attract the
camera bug also provide many
settings for the man or woman
with an easel and a box of oil
paints or water colors.
Now is the time to plan for week
end trips throughout the summer
months to visit landmarks that
played an important part in the
dramatic history of our state.
This summer can be a new and
exciting adventure crammed with
Unforgettable experiences. Georgia
has much to see and enjoy. Why
not give yourself and the family
the benefit of it?
Your neighborhood service sta
tion dealer will provide free maps
and assist you in marking the best
routes to take to the place of your
choice.
No language can express the po
wer and beauty and heroism and
majesty of a mother’s love.
