Georgia's Barrier Islands
Barrier islands are found along nearly the entire eastern seaboard of United States. From Florida northward to Maine, they change dramatically in character. Many of Georgia's barrier islands are among the most pristine anywhere. Geologically these remarkable islands are considerably younger than the mainland. Some came into existence approximately 30,000 years ago; others emerged only within the last 5,000 years.
Barrier islands are not merely pieces of the mainland surrounded by water. These landmasses are continually changing as the powerful forces of winds, ocean currents, waves, storms and tides reshape them. Tides have the greatest impact on the evolution of the barrier islands. The eastern coastline of Georgia is the western end of a massive ocean funnel. Thus tides here rise higher (6'-8') and faster than anywhere else on the seaboard.
Landscape features like this make the entire east coast a perfect route for travel. A vacation along the eastern seaboard would allow for inexhaustible destinations. Timeshare rentals along the way allow you to hit each one wherever it may be. Because timeshare sales are prevalent all the way from Florida to Maine you can stop and rest at your discretion. For convenience at cost-efficient rates, consider timeshare on your next holiday. |
