Ever wondered what happend to those sleepy little communities where the kids could play outside until dark.  Well, we'd like to think that we've preserved some aspects of that lifestyle in McBee.   While certain changes have been inevitable, we've definitely maintained a close-knit community where neighbors are more than the people next door - they're family.

Far removed from the large inner cities with its soaring crime rates and busy freeways, McBee provides a traditional neighborhood for its citizens and is quite a lovely place to work, live and play.  At least we think so.

We aren't bombarded by the freeways and cramped living quarters that a lot of newer upscaled communities offer.  Instead, we concentrate on a progressive but subtle way of living.   And while most shopping malls require a 45-minute drive, what we consider the more important things are right around the corner. 

We have both a state and federal wildlife refuge within seven miles of the town.   Here we can cruise through the wildlife drive, stop at one of several fishing spots or have a picnic and roller-blade the afternoon away.  Many people in our area also enjoy the gentle breeze and beach-like environment of Lake Robinson.  About 10-minutes from McBee, it offers several boat landings and public shores where families often grill-out and swim until dusk.

And while Georgia claims to be the peach state, everyone in McBee is well aware that our town is Peach Capital of the World.  Even if we are the only people who see it that way.          --Kevin Johnson, 2002
