on the north end of St. Simons Island boasts a primitive wilderness experience. The
600-acre tract of green space features wild native species, numerous shell rings that are
more than 4,000 years old, and plantation ruins that date to the 19th century.

And in Brunswick, Mary Ross Waterfront Park is a perfect place to view the sunset across the
marshes as well as watch shrimp boats and large oceangoing ships from the waterfront docks. Each

a Liberty Ship similar to those built in Brunswick’s shipyards during World War II.
T
he remote location of Georgia’s
Golden Isles have long protected
the ecosystems and creatures that
call them home, saving them from overde-
velopment and loss of habitat. Countless
species of birds, reptiles, and mammals live
along the 100 miles of Georgia coastline.
Little St. Simons Island , an eco-resort
on a private island, has unparalleled oppor-
tunities to get up close with coastal wildlife.
Naturalist-led tours are a part of the offer-
ings for overnight guests and day visitors,
which visit untouched beaches, elevated
platforms overlooking the marshes and
rookeries, and tree-lined sandy forests.
