McIntosh County is a quiet, marsh-lined stretch of coast between Savannah and the Golden Isles, centered on the historic shrimping town of Darien at the mouth of the Altamaha River. With one of the smallest populations of any coastal Georgia county, McIntosh offers a slower pace of life, protected wetlands, and access to Sapelo Island and the Altamaha Wildlife Management Area, while still sitting within easy reach of I-95 for buyers who want a rural, waterfront setting without giving up a commute to Savannah, Brunswick, or Hinesville.
