Welcome to the

Golden Isles

Nestled on the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah, GA, and Jacksonville, FL, lie four beautiful barrier islands--St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island, Little St. Simons Island--and the mainland city of Brunswick Georgia. Pristine stretches of marshland, punctuated by small islands known as hammocks and Georgia beaches, define the breathtaking landscape and create the appearance of a continuous stretch of land.
