Check out history presentations and interpretive trails. Fort Frederica National Monument is dedicated to the fierce battles between British and Spanish forces that shaped Georgia’s dynamic history. In the early 1700s, the territory between British-colonized South Carolina and Spanish-colonized Florida became a theatre of war for the historic colonial rivals. Learn about the military outpost that was built here to protect the British colony from Spanish troops. Begin your visit to Fort Frederica National Monument by checking out the Visitor Centre. Take a seat at the theatre and watch the 23-minute presentation, *History Uncovered*, which gives an outline of the site’s history. Learn about the battles that took place on St. Simons Island on July 7, 1742 and the impact these British victories had over the future of Georgia. Explore the site on foot and make your way around the remains of the old fort complex. Ranger-led tours are held daily and highlight some of the historical markers and archaeological remnants throughout the site. Alternatively, download an audio tour on your handheld device. Find out about the military strategies used at the fort. The area was fortified with earthen ramparts and a palisade wall. Watchmen overlooking the Frederica River monitored ship transportation. Learn about General James Oglethorpe and his soldiers, who drove back Spanish forces in 1742 at the Battle of Gully Hole Creek and the Battle of Bloody Marsh. Drive south for 15 minutes to Bloody Marsh Battleground Site and visit the memorial marker. It is believed that the Spanish forces ended their campaign after the defeat at Bloody Marsh. If you are interested in learning more, stop at the bookstore within the Visitor Centre and pick up some reading material. The Visitor Centre also has drink vending machines and public restrooms.

I had to call the night before as the check in details were not sent to me, and when i called they couldnt find my reservation. I had to call expedia to get it all sorted out. You are required to register with clear with your id. Also, when i arrived the door handle wouldnt lock so i had to use the deadbolt all the time. In addition the master shower drain is pretty clogged so a 5 minute shower ended up with an inch of water. Plus the ice maker wasnt working. Contacting landong was even more difficult as they basically have no staff. It took almost 24 hours for someone to respond to me. Door also never got fixed as maintenence responded 4 days after alerting landing and they didnt even fix the issue fully. They jammed a screw into the door catch to make it stick out further, when the issue was the entire door was cracked. I probably will not rent anything through landing again unless there is no other option. Reviewed on 15 Mar 2026 ### Popular places to visit ![Closeup sea sand beach. Panoramic beach landscape.
