Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Wassaw Island is one of the few remaining undeveloped natural areas in Georgia, located within the Sea Islands near Tybee Island in Chatham County.

The island, which is overseen by the Fish and Wildlife Service and maintained as the Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, is home to more than 10,000 acres of spectacular coastal forests, sand dunes, and salt marshes, offering a plethora of opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout the year.

Seven miles of beautiful beachfront are offered, with boat launches available for kayaking and nature trails available for hiking, though visitors should note that the island's interior is closed to the public. Nearby Pine and Little Wassaw Islands are also incorporated into the National Wildlife Refuge, serving as important habitats for loggerhead sea turtles.
