Waverly is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in the northeastern corner of Camden County, Georgia, near the St. Marys River and the Atlantic coast. It recorded a population of 281 at the 2020 census and forms part of the Brunswick metropolitan statistical area. Waverly is one of several small, unincorporated settlements — including Tarboro, White Oak, Colesburg, and Dover Bluff — that reflect Camden County's long pattern of dispersed rural communities. The area's history is deep. Camden County was formed in 1777, and the Waverly vicinity has been settled and used since well before then, with archaeological remnants of extensive historic occupation in the surrounding landscape. The community developed as a rural crossroads rather than a dense town, and it retains that scattered, agricultural character along the region's coastal plain. Waverly's setting is defined by water and coast. The St. Marys River forms part of the area's watershed, and Cumberland Island — a largely undeveloped barrier island preserved as a national seashore — lies just to the east across the marsh. The community sits inland from the coast along the Interstate 95 corridor, with the incorporated cities of Kingsland and St. Marys nearby providing everyday services, schools, and employment. Public school students attend Camden County Schools, the countywide district based in Kingsland. For residents, Waverly offers a quiet, rural coastal Georgia lifestyle with access to the region's natural and historic assets — the St. Marys River, Cumberland Island National Seashore, and the Okefenokee Swamp to the west — while remaining close to the services of the larger Camden County towns and the broader Brunswick and Jacksonville regions. It appeals to those seeking seclusion, acreage, and a slower pace in one of Georgia's southernmost coastal counties.
