Bluff Drive runs the length of the community along the waterfront, lined with moss-draped live oaks. Wormsloe Historic Site, the tabby ruins of colonist Noble Jones's 1745 estate, sits at the peninsula's entrance along a mile-and-a-half avenue of oaks.

The community has long served as a retreat from Savannah's urban core, with a boating and fishing culture tied to the tidal marsh and the Isle of Hope Marina. ## History Isle of Hope developed in the 1840s as a resort retreat for wealthy Savannahians seeking relief from summer heat and yellow fever outbreaks in the city, accessible initially by steamboat and later by streetcar. The adjacent Wormsloe estate, established by Georgia colonist Noble Jones in the 1730s-40s, remains one of coastal Georgia's most significant colonial sites.
