Every year hundreds of thousands of votes determine the “World’s Best Awards” by Travel + Leisure readers. Travel + Leisure magazine’s most recent poll was a milestone – their 25th edition. And the winner for “Best Islands in the Continental U.S.” is not an island at all. The Golden Isles of Georgia is in fact a group of fours islands on the Atlantic coast. The Golden Isles consist of Jekyll Island, Little St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and St. Simons Island.
Each of these islands has a distinct personality and unique features. However, as a whole the area is famous for excellent seafood, a beautiful coastline, and abundant wildlife. All of the Golden Isles have intriguing shorelines. The Golden Isles offer a unique combination of beaches, estuaries and meandering waterways to explore.
Jekyll Island has an interesting history. In the 1880s the island was an exceptionally exclusive private winter resort. Families such as Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt and Pulitzer built an elegant club house and individual family “cottages”. Today Jekyll Island is a State Park and open to the public. Both the Jekyll Island Club and the surrounding cottages welcome visitors. The island is also up to 21st Century standards with four golf courses, a new convention center and many modern resorts.
