Skidaway Island

Skidaway Island is best known in coastal Georgia for Skidaway Island State Park, where trails pass through maritime forest and salt marsh. Southeast of Savannah, the island follows the Skidaway River through a low-lying coast shaped by tides, creeks and broad wetlands. The park’s boardwalks and observation tower bring visitors close to this estuarine setting, while the University of Georgia Marine Education Center and Aquarium interprets the ecosystems and wildlife of Georgia’s coast. Residential communities share the island with protected habitats and marine research facilities. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across coastal Georgia.

The terrain of Georgia ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the low, sandy Atlantic Coastal Plain in the south and east, creating a state of sharply varied landscapes. The Chattahoochee River follows much of the Alabama border, while the Savannah River forms much of the boundary with South Carolina before reaching the Atlantic. Atlanta is closely linked to the US civil rights movement and includes the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. On the coast, barrier islands and salt marshes frame Savannah, whose historic district is recognised for its network of public squares.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
