Description- Georgia's coast is made up of sandy beaches and barrier islands. The coastline of Georgia is almost 110 miles long. The action of the waves stops the growth of plants except on the dunes which are above the high tide line. Sea Oats growing on the dunes help prevent erosion. 

Location- The coast is located along Georgia' southeastern border with the Atlantic Ocean. The barrier islands of Cumberland, Sapelo and Ossabaw lie off the coast of Georgia.
