Salt Crest is directly on the North Newport River at Half Moon on Colonel’s Island, on the coast of Liberty County. Named for its early involvement in the American Revolution and the place the first flag of independence was raised in Georgia, Liberty County is rich in history.
Two of Georgia's signers of the Declaration of Independence, Button Gwinnett and Dr. Lyman Hall, lived on the colonial coast of Liberty County. Come explore Salt Crest and the surrounding area and find out why these historians and many others share their love for the Georgia coast.

The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
My fondest memories were cultivated while on the salt water of the Georgia coast and we wish to craft the same experiences for you, your family and friends at Salt Crest. Imagine the pride of showing off a big fish caught offshore, the feeling of salt on your sun-baked skin after a full day of water skiing, the excitement of pulling up a cast net full of shrimp for a low country boil, and the thrill of finding the perfect seashell on the unspoiled beach of Blackbeard Island. You can now create your own coastal memories just like these at Salt Crest.
