Congratulations – You’re getting married! The venue has been chosen, the cake has been tasted, and your vows have been written. But what are you doing for your final fling before the ring?

Located on the coast midway between Savannah, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida, Georgia’s Golden Isles can cover all your dream girls’ trip experiences – from fancy cocktails to warm sunshine to unique experiences for you and your bride tribe to make memories that’ll last a lifetime!

Here are our favorite things to do in Georgia’s Golden Isles for the ultimate bachelorette getaway:

1. Enjoy Our Sunny Beaches

Whether you want to get a natural sun-kissed look before the big day, you feel at home where the sand meets the sea, or the group is looking for something unique to do, Golden Isles beaches have it all. Pack a picnic (and some classy mimosas in plastic flutes!) and head to one of our incredible beaches to spend a day relaxing by the ocean. When you're ready for a break from the beach, visit the shops in the St. Simons Pier Village. Stroll in and out of Rahab's Rope, SSI Lifestyle, Hope's Boutique, and Golden Isles Bracelet Co. Treat yourself to a delicious crepe from St. Simons Crepes, and get your sugar fix at St. Simons Sweets.

 

2. Unite Your Bride Tribe

Whether your bridesmaids have known each other forever, or they’re just coming together to celebrate you for the first time, nothing creates memories quite like a unique adventure! Celebrate your last sail before the veil on a sunset cruise on the String of Pearls; Go for one last ride with the bride on horseback down the gorgeous natural coastline; love naturally with an escape to the virtually untouched, 11,000-acre Little St. Simons Island to discover what coastal Georgia nature is all about. You and your group can even enjoy yoga on the beach with East Beach Yoga. Or for an indoor group adventure, go for a tea tasting at Biron Tea Factory & Tasting Room. You’ll never find a better way to unite the tribe before the big day!

 

3. Pamper Yourself

Nothing says “bachelorette” quite like escaping to an island retreat, getting pampered at one of our rejuvenating spas and then retiring to your oceanside accommodations. Get a massage, facial or even a mani/pedi! You can even get a stretch at The Stretch Zone to improve your overall health and mobility, or a skin and body treatment at Emerald Wellness. Or, check out the spa services at Spa Cabana on Jekyll Island. For makeup, skincare, and tanning services, check out Island Beauty Girl. Plan your day to drift away for the bride who deserves to be treated like royalty! If you need transportation around the island, Edward Transportation offers private transportation perfect for you and your party!

 

4. Explore the Island by Bike  

Exploring the island is much easier on wheels! Rent a bike from Pedego Electric Bikes and spend the day sightseeing! You and your group will have so much fun biking around the island, making stops at the most popular attractions. Get ready to enjoy the sun on your skin and the wind in your hair!
