Georgia Coast Travel Guide

The coastal isles of Georgia are a string of lush, subtropical barrier islands meandering lazily down the state's Atlantic coast from Savannah to the Florida border. The islands have a long history of human habitation; Native American relics have been found here that date from about 2500 BC. The four islands known as the Golden Isles—Little St. Simons, Sea, St. Simons, and Jekyll islands—are great vacation spots. The best way to appreciate the barrier islands' rare ecology is to visit Sapelo and Cumberland islands or take a guided tour.
