World's Best Islands in the Continental US
Travel + Leisure Has Named the Golden Isles Among the World's Best Islands for Eight Consecutive Years
Nestled on the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah, GA, and Jacksonville, FL, lie four beautiful barrier islands - St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island - and their mainland port city of Brunswick.
What a sight to behold - dramatic natural beauty virtually untouched by time. Miles of pristine beaches turn gold at sunset. An endless labyrinth of waterways winds through vibrant marshlands. This is the Golden Isles.
A place to stroll, to paddle and to savor, it's more than a beach vacation. It's a place to indulge in all the golfing bliss you can handle, or simply soak in the sunshine of the four radiant islands and the historic mainland city. The Golden Isles is a place to escape, settle into the rhythm of the tides and go at your own pace. Fill your days with historical attractions, decadent Southern cuisine and interesting guided tours.
With its unique landscapes and plentiful wildlife that beckon visitors to return for generations, it's no wonder Travel + Leisure readers voted the Golden Isles among the World's Best Islands in the Continental U.S.
