Georgia's Amazing Barrier Islands - Barrier islands are found along nearly the entire eastern seaboard of United States. From Florida northward to Maine, they change dramatically in character. Many of Georgia's barrier islands are among the most pristine anywhere. Geologically these remarkable islands are considerably younger than the mainland. Some came into existence approximately 30,000 years ago; others emerged only within the last 5,000 years.
Barrier islands are not merely pieces of the mainland surrounded by water. These landmasses are continually changing as the powerful forces of winds, ocean currents, waves, storms and tides reshape them. Tides have the greatest impact on the evolution of the barrier islands. The eastern coastline of Georgia is the western end of a massive ocean funnel. Thus tides here rise higher (6'-8') and faster than anywhere else on the seaboard. Landscape features like this make the entire east coast a perfect route for travel.
Visit Ossabaw Island - Accessible only by boat, this is Georgia's third-largest barrier island. Offers hiking, guided campling trips, scheduled group hunts and public beaches. Phone: 912-727-2112 or 912-262-3173 - Address: 22814 GA Hwy. 144 |
