Residents who want to sail, fish or just relax on some of the best saltwater and freshwater spots in coastal Georgia can gain access to the inter-coastal waterway from deep-water community docks and ramps at Shellman Bluff and Cooper's Point. We boast some of the best inshore and offshore fishing Georgia has to offer. Hire a charter for deep sea fishing and reel in that record shark, tarpon, trout, red fish or flounder. Or just simply kick back on a dolphin-watching cruise and be entertained as these gentle creatures welcome you to the calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Want to get a little closer to the action? Gray's Reef, 17 miles east of Sapelo Island, is one of only twelve National Marine Sanctuaries in US waters. Home to loggerhead turtles, angelfish, and a wide variety of game fish, Gray's Reef is a live coral reef. Nearby, scuba divers can enjoy the ideal wreck dive on a 441-foot Liberty Ship.

For a slower pace, enjoy a serene canoe or kayak ride as you weave through the salt marsh creeks in the area. Drifting under the limbs of Live Oaks and Spanish Moss is a perfect opportunity to get close to nature, watch a breathtaking sunset or paddle under the full moon.

The Shellman Bluff Marina will cater to any of your boating or fishing needs. Shellman Fish Camp, located in downtown Shellman Bluff is a great place to pick up fishing supplies, launch your boat, use a boat lift, get advice on fishing conditions, arrange an inshore or offshore fishing trip, or plan an excursion to the beaches of Blackbeard Island.
