- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Atlanta Intracoastal Waterway. Georgia's coast is more than 100 miles in length. Its most impressive natural feature is the chain of barrier islands that fringe the shoreline. Separating the islands from the mainland is a belt of tidal marshes, four to six miles wide. Amid the marshes, and running the length of the coast, are the waterways that, from the earliest years of the region's European occupation, have been known as the inland passage.
