The Coast of Georgia is protected by a string of sea islands, one of which is actually called Sea island and has an eroding Spit at its southern end. Other Sea Island claims to fame revolve around visits by U.S. Presidents, the 2004 G8 Summit, and a spectacular bankruptcy soon after.
Sea Island's history is somewhat significant because, to maximize the "opportunities" attendant to the bankruptcy, the new owners have an interest in selling off the real estate quickly, before the ocean takes it.
I've posted about Sea Island on Hannah Blog, here and here and on Like the Dew, not because I'm obsessed, but because it's in my back yard.
