Go at your own pace.

On the southern coast of Georgia, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island, Little St. Simons Island and Brunswick have captured the hearts of many a visitor. Draped in a veil of Spanish moss and skirted by shimmering marsh grass, the region known as the Golden Isles has a reputation for enchantment—no matter the season. While the warmer months bring long, lazy beach days and dips in the nearest pool, sunny skies and comfortable temperatures year-round mean the spirit of summer lingers on. With highs in the mid-sixties in the “dead of winter,” alfresco dining, wildlife exploration, and friendly golf tournaments are blissfully accessible, and whether you’re hopping from island to island or hunkering down in your favorite spot, the Golden Isles are sure to win you over.
