The island, located between St. Catherine's Sound and Sapelo Sound, is ten miles long and from one to three miles wide. It covers approximately 22,265 acres, with about half of the acreage being salt marsh, while the remaining acreage is wooded. There are fine beaches on the northeast and south sides.
