Family Fun in Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia - Part I

There is so much to do as a family in Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia I am going to break it down into 4 posts.  Whether you are a full time resident or just visiting Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia, there are a multitude of options for family members of all ages. 

Public Beach Jekyll island access is available on both Saint Simons Island and Jekyll Island where you can sun, splash in the waves, build a sandcastle, ride horses, use body boards or fly kites.  On Saint Simons Island, you can call Barry's Beach Service at 912-638-8053 and rent a catamaran sailboat

or a fun-cycle-a low riding pedal powered beach vehicle from Wheel Run Rentals at 912-634-0606.

Another great option is to call the Island Dive Center at 912-638-6590 for Jet Ski Rentals from the Golden Isles Marina on Saint Simons Island.  Ocean Motion at 912-638-5225 or Barry's Beach Service at 912-638-8053 both offers kayak trips from Saint Simons Island.  Experienced kayakers may want to try the two and three-day overnight kayak trips to Cumberland and other local islands.  cumberland island

Julie - Great post and beautiful photos!  We have snow coming, which makes what you posted especially attractive to me right now!

I've always wanted to visit Jekyll Island, I've always heard such awesome things about it.  Nice job, makes me really want to visit now that's it getting chilly!

Joseph,

We had a day at 86 degrees just before Christmas - I started to take out my jet skis (but was too busy showing property and didn't).

Suzanne,

As we say, come visit for a day or for a lifetime........all of this without horrific traffic and unemployement of less than 3 1/2%......what else can one want.....wait for parts II - IV.....

Julie - The snow is here.  Your 86 degrees sounds great right now as I contemplate clearing my driveway!!

Julie, 

 I am going to look forward to your updates about the area.  My sister has a place on St Simon's we go there often.  She keeps telling me get your license here.  I had to look it up,  reciprocity baby, I am there..soon I hope..I am sooo tired of the cold weather, although I know it has not been too warm there lately  but that too shall pass.  Let me know of any great activities I should not miss.  Thanks

Julie, we have often thought about taking the ferry to Cumberland Island since our children were small.  I'm going to put that on my list to do this year! Thanks for the reminder and the beautiful photos. What a great blog that will make about the trip from Amelia to Cumberland :)
