Located near historic Savannah, this barrier island has both salt and fresh water due to estuaries and marshes that flow through the area. The park borders Skidaway Narrows, a part of the intercoastal waterway, and provides scenic camping and picnicking areas. Two nature trails wind through marshes, live oaks, cabbage-palmettos and longleaf pines, allowing visitors to watch for deer, raccoon, shore birds and rare migrating birds such as the Painted Bunting. Observation towers provide another chance for visitors to search for wildlife on this beautiful island. Most facilities are ADA accessible. Located 6 miles southeast of Savannah on Diamond Causeway. Take I-16 to Savannah, exit at I-516 (exit #164A), which runs into DeRenne Avenue. Turn right on Waters Avenue and go straight ahead to Diamond Causeway.
