High bluff overlooking the Broro and Julienton rivers offers one of the best coastal views in Georgia. Breath-taking views can be seen in the morning as the sun rises from behind Harris Neck, Lighting the green marsh and dappling the tidal rivers.

Blackbeard Island Beach is easily assessable at the mouth of nearby Sapelo River. It's rich history is quite a story and Caberetta Inlet on the south end of the Island is a wonderful playground for those traveling the intercoastal or locals enjoying a day trip to the beach.

Come enjoy the laid-back, casual dining atmosphere at Hunter's. Located across from the marsh and boat docks on the Broro River, Hunter's serves local seafood, including fish shrimp dishes. The Mud Bar is a popular local nightspot offering mixed drinks, beers and some of the latest greatest "fish tales".

Shellman Bluff is a quaint fish camp village that retains the charm that was once common on the Georgia coast, but has become harder to find. Located in the heart of "Downtown Shellman Bluff", the Shellman Fish Camp/Marina is a great place to pick up fishing supplies, launch your boat, and arrange a fishing trip or an excursion to Blackbeard Island.

The lighthouses history began in 1808, when Thomas Spalding sold 5 acres of land on Sapelo's South end for $1 to the US Government to build a lighthouse to help guide shipping into the growing port of Darien. Visitors interested in touring the lighthouse must book a ride on the Sapelo Island Ferry, which includes a guided tour.
