River Street Savannah

River Street is a narrow cobble-stoned street that runs along the Savannah River in Georgia. Visitors can walk this street and explore the city of Savannah, they can sit by the river and take in the beauty of the river, sit and have a bite to eat at a small café and take lots of pictures.

There are many little gift boutiques along the street which sell handmade jewelry, souvenirs and knick knacks a-plenty. People have been known to spend hours strolling through these stores and always finding that perfect little gift.

There are many little dining areas along River Street, including Paula Dean's restaurant although it may be hard to get a seat at this restaurant due to the popularity of the restaurant. If you do not get into that restaurant do not worry, there are many other restaurants, café's and diners such as River House Seafood & Bakery which, like many of the restaurants, specialize in seafood.

River Street also features the famous Waving Girl statue which is a tribute to Florence Matus who used to live along the river and would wave to the ships as they sailed along the river. The heritage streetcar The River Street Streetcar also runs along River Street. Visiting this street is definitely a thing to see rather than do when visiting Savannah.
