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.
