River Street - Savannah Waterfront
Website Directions 912-234-0295

Stretching along the Savannah River, River Street is a vibrant historic waterfront promenade housed within former 19th-century cotton warehouses. Visitors can explore a rich collection of local boutiques, praline shops, seafood restaurants, and riverfront bars along the iconic cobblestones. The promenade is ideal for watching passing cargo ships, boarding riverboat cruises, or catching the free ferry across the river.

Quick tip: Wear sturdy, flat footwear because the historic cobblestone streets and Factor's Walk stairways are uneven and steep.
