Most of the island is The Landings — a private, gated community that's been here since the 1970s and has grown into one of the most established residential communities on the Georgia coast. Six championship golf courses, two deep-water marinas, 30 miles of walking and biking trails, nine restaurants, and a fitness center that would embarrass most gyms. It's large enough to have real infrastructure and small enough that people actually know their neighbors. South Harbor occupies the southern end of the island and Modena Island sits at the northern edge — smaller, quieter communities for those who want the Skidaway address without the full Landings footprint.
Skidaway Island sits about 12 miles south of downtown Savannah, separated from the rest of the world by the Diamond Causeway and surrounded by salt marsh, maritime forest, and the Intracoastal Waterway. It's one of those places where the drive in alone tells you something has shifted.
Skidaway Island State Park rounds out the island with trails, marsh overlooks, and some of the best birding in coastal Georgia.
Life on Skidaway runs at the pace of the tide. Mornings start slow here, a walk or a bike ride under the live oaks, sometimes with deer for company. When you want to be on the water or out in the quiet, the state park's marsh boardwalks and trails are right at hand. And when you want the city, downtown Savannah is about twenty minutes up the road.
There’s a lot to navigate here — let’s talk through it together.
