FALL 2019 FARRAGUT LIFE 57
are hand-made to look like the fishing
floats once used to keep fishing nets afloat.
People have been finding these lost floaters
since the 1800s. Don’t bother looking in the
dunes, they never “hide” them out of reach.
Birdwatching is spectacular, most of the bird
species in Georgia find their way to the area
each year. They join the shorebird and gulls
that inhabit the island year around. There
is also a bird sanctuary in the back part of
the Island Campground. Georgia’s only sea
turtle education and rehabilitation facility
offers a chance to learn about sea turtles
and see rehabilitation in action with a host
of interactive exhibits and experiences.
