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.
