Review:
One of Georgia's famous Golden Isles, 14,640-acre St. Catherines Island is located about 20 miles from Savannah, between St. Catherine's and Sapelo Sounds. St. Catherines Island Beach is about 10 miles long and up to 3 miles wide, with most of it covered in wetlands and tidal marsh.
The island is also known for a wonderful sandy beach, which is not open to the public as it is owned by the Saint Catherines Island Foundation, except from below the high tide line.
During the day, visitors can use the beach for searching for shells, hiking, or picnicking, but they are not allowed to enter the island's interior.
The lovely sandy beach is over 11 miles long and wraps around the island's eastern side.
The beach and its surrounding areas are a nesting ground for endangered marine turtles. Directions
