Alma-Bacon County is located on the Coastal Plains of Southeast Georgia, approximately four hours south of Atlanta, one hour west of Brunswick and the Golden Isles, and two hours north of Jacksonville, Florida. A central geographical location and relatively inexpensive land makes Alma-Bacon County an ideal location for industry and homes.
A casual, easygoing community, with no traffic congestion or urban sprawl, provides the environment for a simplified way of living with easy access to urban amenities.
