Island, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island are found amid the clusters of barrier islands that hug Georgia’s historic Atlantic coastline. These four islands, along with mainland Brunswick, are known collectively as BRUNSWICK AND THE GOLDEN ISLES OF GEORGIA. Barrier islands, separated from the mainland by salt marshes, tidal rivers and sounds, are both dynamic ecosystems and the mainland’s natural shields against hurricanes and ocean storms. Barrier islands are found along nearly the entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States. From Florida northward to Maine, they change dramatically in character. Many of Georgia’s barrier islands are among the most pristine anywhere. These land masses are dynamic in nature, continually changing as they are shaped by the powerful forces of winds, ocean currents, waves, storms and tides. Tides have the greatest impact on the evolution of barrier islands. In fact, the eastern coastline of Georgia is, in effect, the western end of a massive ocean funnel. Thus, tides here rise higher (6’– 8’) and faster than anywhere else on the eastern seaboard. 35 St.Simons http://ComeCoastAwhile.com
