I have lived about 50 miles west of Savannah all my life. Never noticed it being miserably hot. Can be humid. Lots of history and the area is big into preservation and restoration. Beaches and fishing are close. Hunting isn’t far off with Fort Stewart a large area that provides public access. Several state and Federal areas close too. Lots of charter boats for fishing and public ramps if you bring your own boat.
Back last year when all the rioting and protests were going on, nothing was happening in Savannah. There are areas that are best to avoid, but the tourist areas have people walking all over them all the time. I’ve never had a problem and don’t worry about anything happening when I’m there.
Great little city with a lot to see and do.
