Living In, Visiting, and Enjoying the Golden Isles of Georgia

July 22, 2024

If you’re in the market for a new place to live in Georgia, you should consider the Golden Isles. While you might not have heard of such a place before, if you’re looking for a coastal oasis with many amenities, it’s a great fit.

What Are the Golden Isles?

The Golden Isles of Georgia rest along the southeastern coast and offer a captivating blend of natural beauty, rich history, and Southern charm. Consisting of four barrier islands—St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island, and Little St. Simons Island—and the mainland city of Brunswick, the Golden Isles are a joy for those who like a little surf with their turf. Each destination boasts unique attractions and experiences, making the Golden Isles a paradise for residents and visitors alike.

Amenities of the Golden Isles

The Golden Isles are brimming with amenities that cater to a variety of interests and lifestyles. From pristine beaches and lush golf courses to historic landmarks and vibrant cultural events, there’s something for everyone:

Outdoor Activities

Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to explore. Miles of sandy shores invite sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing, while the islands' numerous parks and nature preserves offer hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking. Don’t miss the chance to visit the famous Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, a photographer’s dream with its striking, sun-bleached trees.

Golf and Tennis

For those who love golf and tennis, the Golden Isles are a dream come true. St. Simons Island and Sea Island feature world-class golf courses, including the renowned Sea Island Golf Club, home to the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic in 2010. Tennis enthusiasts can also enjoy top-notch facilities and even take part in clinics and tournaments.

Historical Sites and Museums

History buffs will appreciate the region's rich heritage. Explore the historic district of Brunswick with its charming Victorian-era buildings, or visit the Historic Hamilton Plantation Cabins and Grounds to learn about the island’s plantation history. If you’re looking for a little more spooky history, you can also see if you can track down Mary the Wanderer, one of the many ghosts of the Golden Isles!

Shopping and Dining

Shopping and dining options in the Golden Isles are as varied as they are delightful. From quaint boutiques and art galleries to gourmet restaurants and casual eateries, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. Fresh seafood is a highlight, with local favorites like shrimp and grits and oysters on the half shell.

Proximity to Points of Interest

The Golden Isles region is easily accessible, with Brunswick Golden Isles Airport offering direct flights to major cities. Savannah, known for its historic charm and vibrant arts scene, is just an hour’s drive away, while Jacksonville, Florida, with its bustling urban attractions, is within a two-hour drive.

What Our Homebuyers Are Saying

We bought 2 homes from Landmark 24 within the last 2 years. In 2014 we met Anna Dinatali and she helped make our first time home buying experience the best we could've ever asked! We picked our lot, designed our dream and with her guidance and support all the way through the project we closed on our new beautiful home in September of 2015! We love the structure of the builders style and the energy efficiency is more than we expected! Our utilities are more reasonable compared to our friends and that's because our home has spray foam installation! We loved it so much we decide after 16 months to go bigger and move into the village at Palmetto Pointe. We purchased the Richmond in March of this year and we could not be happier! All of the Landmark contacts are outstanding!! They are always there for us no matter what the situation is. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a beautiful home with all the extras you want! We love you Landmark 24!!
