Bethesda

Tucked along the Skidaway River on Georgia’s Atlantic coastal plain, Bethesda is a place whose character is shaped by tides moving through the surrounding salt marshes. The river belongs to the web of estuaries, creeks and wooded islands that defines the coast south of Savannah. Bethesda’s name is closely linked to Bethesda Academy, founded in 1740 by the evangelist George Whitefield; the school remains part of the area’s long educational history. Savannah, founded in 1733, adds a larger urban counterpoint, known for its planned squares and preserved historic districts.
