“Nestled on the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah,
GA, and Jacksonville, FL, lies the mainland city of Brunswick
and its four beautiful barrier islands: St. Simons Island,
Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. Spanish
explorers seeking gold originally descended upon the
territory more than 400 years ago, only to find astonishing
beauty, mild weather and a natural radiance that inspired
the area’s name, the Golden Isles Pristine stretches of marshland, punctuated by small islands known as hammocks, define the breathtaking landscape and create the appearance of a continuous stretch of land reaching out to the barrier islands. Sparkling rivers teeming with birds, fish and other marine life flow calmly around the islands on their way to the Atlantic Ocean.” Golden Isles CVB
