One of the prettiest sights on East Beach on St. Simons Island, Georgia, is the sea oats waving in a gentle ocean breeze. Sea oats are subtropical grasses that are prominent in the coastal regions of the American southeast. And they are much more than simply something pretty to look at. Sea oats provide vital stabilization to shorelines by trapping sand that encourages plant growth, thereby protecting essential dune systems.
