Experience the thrill of dolphin watching and fishing at Gray's Reef!
Dolphin Adventures at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary
Picture this: you’re out on the water, rod in hand, the sun glistening on the ocean, and suddenly, a pod of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins appears. That’s exactly what happened to Jeff and his buddy David on a fishing trip to Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary. This hidden gem off the coast of Georgia isn’t just a sanctuary for marine life; it’s a playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
The sanctuary boasts a vibrant underwater ecosystem where you can fish for species like sea bass, red snapper, and even triggerfish, all while keeping an eye out for sharks lurking nearby. As we watched those playful dolphins, we couldn't help but feel lucky to be part of such a unique experience. Gray's Reef offers not just great fishing, but also scuba diving and spearfishing opportunities.

Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, just 16 miles off the Georgia coast, is one of the largest near-shore live-bottom reefs in the southeastern U.S. Here’s why you should consider this spot for your next adventure. First off, the biodiversity is off the charts! You’ll find thousands of species swimming about, from snappers to groupers, creating a lively underwater spectacle. And for those looking to cast a line, fishing is allowed year-round. With so many options—cobia, gag grouper, and kingfish—anglers of all kinds will feel right at home.
But it’s not just about fishing. For those with a taste for exploration, scuba diving here is like stepping into an aquarium, with advanced divers venturing into depths of up to 65 feet. Don’t forget to visit the Gray’s Reef Ocean Discovery Center in Savannah, where you can learn more about this ecological treasure and its conservation efforts.
