Coastal Georgia Boat Ramp Conditions

Georgia's coastal ramps are affected by large daily tides. DNR warns that tidal erosion can create a drop-off at the end of some ramps, particularly during low-tide periods. Always check the current condition of a ramp and allow for the tide when planning a launch.
