Soulful in the Golden Isles
In the Golden Isles, life slows down to a pace that allows you to connect with what matters most. There's a warmth that you feel deeply in your soul.
Along the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL, lies a stretch of land that is like no other. With four beautiful barrier islands, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island and Little St. Simons Island, and a historic port city, Brunswick, the Golden Isles of Georgia welcomes you to streets lined with centuries-old oak trees draped with Spanish moss and miles of sun-drenched beaches.
Pristine stretches of marshes define the breathtaking landscape and create the appearance of a continuous stretch of land reaching out to the barrier islands. Each of the five unique locations offers a memorable setting, a variety of activities, and an inherent tranquility.
With year-round mild, temperate weather, it's always a great time to visit the Golden Isles. Average temperatures in the winter months are in the 60s, making afternoon walks on pet-friendly beaches an ideal activity. Biking and hiking are other popular things to do. And when you've had a day full of exploring or a day full of relaxing, head to one of many local restaurants for authentic flavors of the coast.
Island Escape
Accessible only by boat from Hampton River Marina on St. Simons Island’s north end, Little St. Simons Island is a privately owned, 11,000-acre barrier island resort.
