Wilmington Island, GA

Wilmington Island is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Chatham County, east of Savannah. It is part of the chain of residential island communities between the city and the Atlantic coast, with May Howard Elementary School serving as the only public school located on the island. The setting gives it a coastal Georgia feel without being a beach town: marshes, tidal creeks, Savannah access, and nearby routes toward Tybee Island all shape daily life.
