Jekyll and St. Simon's Island are known as the "Golden Isles" of Georgia, named by adventurers in search of gold, but perhaps they were impressed with the golden color of the marshes and sea oats. St. Simon's Island is noted for its moss-draped live oaks, recreations options and unusually good restaurants and hotels. Visit Christ Church, the second oldest Episcopal church in Georgia and the 3rd oldest in the country. Enjoy dining and shopping in the Village where the St. Simon's Lighthouse is located. It is one of the nation's oldest continuously working lighthouses. Jekyll Island, once an exclusive playground for America's industrial barons, today welcomes the public with its natural beauty and deep sense of history. Local author Eugenia Price captured the spell of these Golden Isles in her historical novels. History buffs seeking a glimpse of Jekyll's "millionaire" legacy will enjoy the guided tour highlighting the 240-acre historic district.

After a morning tour of Jekyll Island, journey to the "land of the trembling earth", Okefenokee Swamp. Another side trip would be to Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, a state park where the evolution of a rice plantation from 1807-1973 comes to life.
