As the mainland entry point for the Golden Isles, Brunswick has its fair share of nature escapes. Kayak through the Marshes of Glynn and hike the local trails to see oak trees covered in moss and coastal birds flapping their wings over the salt water. The manmade wonders in Historic Downtown Brunswick are equally as appealing, including the1800s Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, where rice was once harvested, and the 1898 Historic Ritz Theater, which was originally the Grand Opera House.<\/p>\n

Each May, the horizon becomes filled with sails flapping in the wind as part of the annual Spring Sailboat Show.
