RELAX ON A COUPLE’S TRIP TO BRUNSWICK Known for sandy beaches and serene coastal waters, the Golden Isles is a dreamy romantic escape. In Brunswick , the mainland port city between Jekyll and St. Simons islands, you can enjoy the benefits of town and still appreciate the beauty of the ocean. Stay at The Kress Brunswick for charming suites with plush sofas, tons of natural light, and sleek, modern kitchens. Set in the heart of the historic downtown just minutes from the waterfront, you can ditch your car and walk almost everywhere. Amble down the city’s scenic, sunny sidewalks – you’ll love the coastal vibes as you pass large-frond palms and lush flowering trees. Stop in local boutiques selling everything from gemstone pendants to fishing-themed sun shirts. When you’re ready for a break, meander over to Richland Rum for a complimentary tour to learn about the rum-distilling process – add a rum-tasting experience for a low cost. At Silver Bluff Brewing , sip a cold Golden Isles IPA beneath shaded pergolas or compete in a friendly round of corn hole. Stroll hand in hand through town toward the intersection of Albany and Prince streets, where you’ll find the massive, long-limbed Lover’s Oak . This thriving, 900-plus-year-old tree has been a meeting spot for lovers over the centuries. Share a smooch and snap a selfie in the deep shade of this magnificent oak where so many other adoring couples have stood. 56 #EXPLOREGEORGIA THIS PAGE: SILVER BLUFF BREWING, BRUNSWICK/CALEB JONES.
