The Peach State has quite a bit of coast line, so it comes as no surprise that you can find some of the country’s best seafood restaurants in Georgia. When you’re on the hunt for oysters, though, you may be surprised to learn that some of the best oysters in the state are not found in a coastal city like Savannah or Brunswick, but far inland, in Athens. Athens, GA is best known as the home of the University of Georgia, but you can also find some incredible restaurants here, one of which is Seabear Oyster Bar. This delectable spot serves up fresh oysters, amazing fish dishes, vegetarian offerings, and delicious drinks. Check it out:

Seabear is tucked away on the outskirts of downtown, just a few blocks away from the UGA campus. It's in a former Coca Cola bottling plant and has a great patio area for dining.
