Brunswick & The Golden Isles

Everything about the place is different: the architecture, the landscape, the food and the accent. Take a leisurely trip south to Brunswick and the Golden Isles, a string of lush subtropical barrier islands that lies just off the coast. Some are wildlife refuges but the developed islands of St. Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll Island are accessible via bridges and offer superb beaches, great golf, and a wide range of accommodations. Theses sandy shores are also the perfect spot to unfold your beach chair, gaze out at the blue Atlantic, and reflect on your journey through Georgia...

Live oak timbers milled here in 1794 were used in building "Old Ironsides," the USS Constitution, in 1874, and timbers were also cut here for the Brooklyn Bridge. More about Gascoigne Bluff
