The planning to get to the Island can be tricky, but it's affordable round trip ferry fee. We used a private tour company to tour the Island to learn the history. Next time I want to go to explore the nature!

Beautiful beaches and the history is remarkable. Be sure to visit the lighthouse. Saw a huge bald eagle nest but couldn't see if there were occupants. Yvonne was a fantastic tour guide.

This is one of my favorite places to go visit in the United States. I wouldn't hear many many years ago on a project for the Oprah Winfrey show in fell in love with the island. I actually got to meet Mama Bailey when she was living and she gave me a permanent pass to come so I know her entire family and I go as often as I can. I was giving an opportunity to purchase property on the island but I didn't at the time. Now I wish I would have. It is a great place but to really get to know sapelo Island you have to know the indigenous people. You have to go to hog hammock and meet the Bailey's and really get to know him and you'll really understand the island. The island is changing because it's now allowing people to purchase land there and it's really taking away a lot of the beauty of it
