Sapelo Island WMA

Located midway on the Georgia coastline on the eastern fringe of McIntosh County, Sapelo Island is defined by the Sapelo River to the north, the waters of Doboy Sound to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Duplin River to the west. The 16,500-acre island is the 4th largest barrier island in the State of Georgia.

Sapelo Island Wildlife Management Area is 9,000 acres and offers hunting opportunities for deer, small game and feral hog. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the island. Hunters drawn for Sapelo Island deer quota hunts must arrange for their own transportation to the island via private boat. A link to a list of private charters is provided below (under “Activities”/”Hunting”) as a convenience for customers. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources does not endorse any one business for use.
