Find Your Next Fishing Spot Along the Georgia Coast
Georgia's coast is full of places to stop, cast a line and enjoy a day on the water. From riverfront fishing docks in small coastal towns to long bridge catwalks, marsh-side platforms and ocean fishing piers, every area offers something a little different.
But finding the right spot isn't always easy. You might know the town you want to visit without knowing which pier is nearby, whether a dock is open to the public or where to start looking.
That's why we created this 912 Coastal Georgia Fishing Piers & Public Docks Directory.
We've organized our individual location guides by county, making it easier to explore the coast one area at a time. Whether you're a local angler looking for a new place to fish, a visitor planning a weekend trip or someone discovering Georgia's coastline for the first time, this page gives you a starting point.
Choose your county below and explore the fishing locations we've covered.
Our directory includes dedicated fishing piers, public docks, bridge catwalks, fishing platforms and selected shoreline-access areas. These are different types of facilities, so check the individual location information before heading out. Public access, amenities and operating conditions can change.
Camden County — St. Marys, Kingsland & the Southern Coast
Camden County is where our journey along the Georgia coast begins. The St. Marys River, tidal creeks and nearby coastal waters offer anglers plenty of reasons to explore beyond their usual fishing spots.
This part of the coast is a great place to start if you enjoy fishing around riverbanks, public waterfronts and quieter stretches of water.

Bryan County — Richmond Hill & the Ogeechee River
Bryan County is a good area to explore if you enjoy fishing around river systems, tidal creeks and marsh-lined waterways. Richmond Hill and the surrounding area provide access to several waterfront locations, including a state park fishing pier and other fishing areas.
As with any coastal fishing trip, water conditions and tides can affect where and how you fish. Check the details for each location before choosing your destination.
Fishing piers, docks and access locations
Some entries are fishing-access areas rather than confirmed dedicated piers. Verify the structure and current public-access rules before publishing or visiting.
Chatham County — Savannah, Wilmington Island & Tybee Island
Chatham County offers one of the broadest mixes of fishing environments on the Georgia coast. Around Savannah and Thunderbolt, anglers can find riverfront locations and fishing structures near tidal creeks. Further east, Wilmington Island and Tybee Island provide access to coastal waterways, back-river fishing and oceanfront opportunities.
From quiet marsh settings to larger fishing piers, this section is a useful starting point for exploring the northern end of Georgia's coast.

A Few Things to Know Before You Go
A fishing pier and a public dock aren't always the same thing. Some structures are built specifically for anglers, while others serve boaters, provide shoreline access or sit alongside a boat ramp. A location appearing in a directory does not automatically mean every part of the facility is open for unrestricted fishing.
Before leaving home, check:
Public access: Make sure the site is open to the public and fishing is allowed.
Parking and facilities: Check the individual location guide for parking, restrooms and other amenities.
Tides and conditions: Tidal currents, water depth and weather can affect fishing conditions.
Boat traffic: Keep lines and tackle clear when boats approach shared docks. Give boaters room to tie up safely.
Posted rules: Follow local regulations, signs, hours and any access restrictions.
