Review:
Located on the southeastern end of Sapelo Island, Nanny Goat Beach is an important part of the island's rich and unique ecological zone. The beach is used as an outdoor classroom by the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve, and its scientists sometimes also bring groups of visitors to enjoy beach walks.
The beach is 2 miles long and is covered with fine white sand, where kids love to hunt for whelk shells or sand dollars.
There are many birds that make the beach their home, such as blue herons, ospreys, egrets, bald eagles, and sometimes even plain chachalaca.
A paved 1-mile-long trail links the beach with the R.J. Reynolds House, passing through five ecological zones.
