A group of investors, mostly from Glynn County, established a small private residential community on Black Island beginning in the 1970s. This is their clubhouse.

I’m unsure if this dates to the early 1970s, when a group of private investors began building homesites on Black Island, or if it possibly dates to the time of the Spalding family ownership in the 19th century.

There was a thick fog on the mainland side of Black Island Creek looking toward Black Island. Fog on the marshes is to me one of the most beautiful sights of the Georgia Coast.

The tidal creeks of McIntosh County are a much-loved food resource for locals, who always seem to know the best spots.

Black Island is a tidal island bounded to the southwest by Fort King George and to the east by Mayhall Creek and Mayhall Island. It’s a private residential community with extremely limited development and beautiful native woodlands and marshes. There is no public access. I was grateful to be granted permission to photograph here.
