Georgia Barrier Islands Map
Along the Georgia coast, 15 major barrier islands and many smaller islands are separated from the mainland from an extensive series of marshes and sound. Unlike many of the developed barrier islands of the east coast, the Georgia barrier islands still retain much of their natural wilderness. Approximately two-thirds of the islands are designated as parks, wildlife refuges, research reserves and heritage preserves with limited or no public access.
