Golden Isles

The landscape around Golden Isles, at this coordinate on Wassaw Island, is a low-lying Atlantic barrier-island mosaic of beaches, dunes, maritime forest and salt marsh, which has shaped both sparse settlement and a coastal economy tied to the sea. Wassaw Island lies within the Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1969 to protect its shore, forests and marshes. The Atlantic Ocean and Georgia’s shifting tidal waters define this largely undeveloped setting southeast of Savannah. Although “Golden Isles” usually refers to Georgia’s island destination farther south, this point belongs to the Savannah-area barrier-island chain.
