EXEB2G Sapelo Island Lighthouse, Sapelo Island, Georgia
Sunset on Sapelo Island, Georgia. Of all of the east coast states of the U.S., Georgia has probably done the best job of preserving the character of its coastline. Several of the islands of the coast, such as Cumberland, St. Catherines, and Sapelo (pictured) aren't accessible by road or bridge, and mingle almost imperceptibly with the salt marshes around them. Sapelo is home to a University of Georgia research institute that was instrumental in the creation of the academic field of ecology.
The Reynolds Mansion, on Sapelo Island off the coast of Georgia, was owned by the family that made its fortune on tobacco. It is run as a retreat hotel by the state of Georgia, and is adjacent to the University of Georgia's coastal research station. Between the two sits some structures in various state of disrepair, surrounded by native oak trees hung in Spanish moss.
