Driftwood Beach

T

he Golden Isles is more than

just golden-sand beaches: It’s

a magical seaside retreat made up

of four barrier islands - St. Simons

Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island and

Little St. Simons Island - and their

mainland city of Brunswick. Here,

families can fi nd new adventures

around every bend, with another

waiting each time they return.

1 TAKE A UNIQUE RIDE

Take a guided horseback tour

through maritime forests, near

salt marshes, and even along our

vast beaches. Or sit back, relax,

and enjoy a horse-drawn carriage

ride through Jekyll Island’s

historic district.

2 GO TRE ASURE HUNTING

If you look closely at certain

majestic oak trees that cover

St. Simons Island, it’s possible

to fi nd one staring back at you!

Spend a day with the whole family

searching for St. Simons Island’s

favorite treasures: Tree Spirits.
