Encompassing the barrier islands known as the Golden Isles, the charming town of Brunswick is the perfect starting point for any visit to coastal Georgia. Head out from the top hotels in Brunswick and walk along its historic streets and admire the many storefronts that once housed bustling businesses in the town’s early days. Be sure to make a stop at Old Town Brunswick, where you can browse unique shops selling handmade items made by local artisans and get a bite of quintessential southern fare like shrimp and grits and okra. A trip to Old Town wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the famed 900-year-old oak tree called Lover’s Oak.

The largest of the Golden Isles, the idyllic St. Simon's Island is dotted with southern beachside cottages, golf courses and boutique shopping. Winding streets are flanked by Spanish moss-covered oak trees, and sunsets are best viewed from the St. Simon’s Pier. Don’t forget to catch the view from the top of the St. Simon’s Island Lighthouse; a steep 129 stories up with unrivaled views of St. Simon’s, Brunswick, and Jekyll Island, all easily accessible from Brunswick hotels. From there, head to neighboring Jekyll Island, one of the largest unspoiled beaches along the Georgia Coast and home to wildlife preserves such as Great Dunes Park, which offers miles of trails through marshes full of native plants and animals. Known for its massive driftwood trees, marvel in the rawness of this untouched beach.

While here, make sure to visit Fort Frederica National Monument, an ancient fort constructed with tabby—a mix of oyster shells, lime, and sand— a popular method to construct buildings in the colonial days. The fort ruins tell the story of a British fort built to guard against Spanish invasion. Nearby, the skeletal frame of the Horton House transports visitors to the earliest settlers of St. Simon’s Island.
