The Oyster Roast 2025

Grove Point  // 2298 Grove Point Rd. //  Savannah

Celebrating Georgia's Coast

What an amazing Saturday on the marsh! Thank you to the more than 400 friends who joined us for a beautiful Oyster Roast at Grove Point in Savannah! Your support is critical to our mission to protect and conserve Georgia!


Big thanks go out to Erica Davis Lowcountry Catering who kept us well-fed by roasting oysters and clams and providing some amazing dishes for our VIS guests. And what about those oysters and clams?! Thanks Charlie Phillips and Sapelo Sea Farms – they harvest some of the best clams and oysters we've ever enjoyed. Straight from Charlie's dock in Crescent, Georgia on Pelican Point, these bivalves could have landed in some of the finest restaurants on the East Coast - instead, they found your table at our 2025 Oyster Roast! And who can forget Creature Comforts Brewing Co. for supplying the Oyster Roast with some of the best-brewed beers in Georgia, ahem, the country!

Thanks to Great Dane and Tim and Heather Filgate for hosting us at Grove Point. A shout out to Rivian for sponsoring our VIS Experience and showing off their newest electric adventure vehicles. Thank you to Waste Management for providing the recycling and thank you to our many Oyster Roast volunteers!

We can't host the Oyster Roast without the support of our sponsors!

What to Expect At The Oyster Roast

 

The Venue

Live Oaks, saltwater marsh and historic buildings - Savannah's GROVE POINT makes the perfect backdrop for celebrating Georgia's Coast. Graciously donated by Great Dane Trailers, this is a rare opportunity for guests to enjoy this historic property overlooking the Little Ogeechee. Thanks Great Dane!

 

The Oysters

Hands down, Charlie Phillips and SAPELO ISLAND SEA FARMS harvest some of the best clams and oysters we've ever enjoyed. Straight from Charlie's dock in Crescent, Georgia on Pelican Point, these bivalves could have landed in some of the finest restaurants on the East Coast - instead, they were on our table at our 2025 Oyster Roast!

 

Georgia Conservancy's Coastal Office  

Protecting our coast has been a priority of the Georgia Conservancy for more than 50 years. From the St. Marys River and Cumberland Island to the Port of Savannah and the beaches of Tybee, the Georgia Conservancy prides itself on being an advocate for and steward of our salt marsh, estuaries, maritime forests, and towering dunes. We maintain an office in historic downtown Savannah, headed by Coastal Director Courtney Reich, and are working on a range of projects to protect this precious natural resource.  The Oyster Roast is an annual celebration of this important work and recognition of the incredible resources found along our more than 100 miles of sacred coastline.
