About Brunswick / Golden Isles
Historically significant Brunswick is one of the oldest towns in the Southeast and the second oldest in Georgia. While it is a regional hub of industry and culture, it maintains a gracious hometown feel. Stroll along tree-lined streets that showcase a diversity of historic and architecturally appealing homes, or shop and dine in Old Town, designed by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe. Once called "The Shrimp Capital of the World" for its abundance of coastal catches, today Brunswick maintains its gastronomic command with claims (shared with a Virginia county) that it is the birthplace of famed Brunswick Stew. Because of its coastal setting and inviting climate, Brunswick and coastal neighbors The Golden Isles have long been popular tourist destinations. Several of The Golden Isles, which include St. Simons, Sea, Jekyll and Little St. Simons Islands, have been resort hotspots for the rich and famous - including the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Morgans - for over a century. Visitors to Coastal Georgia can themselves live like royalty as they tour historic sites, shop, dine and enjoy outdoor activities, including golf and tennis, hiking, biking and active water sports.
