The Sapelo Island visitor center near Meridian Dock on the Georgia mainland. Tours of the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve begin here.

The ferry boat "Anne Marie", named for the wife of tobacco magnate R. J. Reynolds. This vessel makes the 5-mile trip 3-4 times daily from the mainland to Marsh Landing Dock on Sapelo Island.

Salt marsh at high tide, at the south end of Sapelo Island. Though Georgia's coast is only about 100 miles long, about 1/3 of all salt marsh on the East Coast of the U. S. is found here.

Black needle rush and Saltmarsh cordgrass (Spartina). Maritime forest is seen in the background.

A white tail deer amidst the pine and oak of the maritime forest.

Tabby ruins at Chocolate on the northwest side of the island. Tabby refers to the building material which is a durable cement-like mixture of equal parts of water, sand, shell, and lime. These ruins are part of an antebellum plantation that was deserted following the Civil War.

Live oaks stretch outward and upward. View from Cabretta campground.

Tree roots exposed because of erosion on the north end of Sapelo's beach. Typical of barrier islands, sand from the north end of Sapelo and Blackbeard is eroded away by ocean currents and deposited at the south end where sand dunes continue to build. The erosion leaves behind trees that were once protected by dunes exposed to the ocean.
