Our Location

Spanish explorers arrived here in search of gold more than 400 years ago, but it is the natural beauty of the area that inspired the "Golden Isles" moniker.

Midway between Savannah, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida lies the mainland city of Brunswick, Georgia and four barrier islands: St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. Learn more about why these beautiful barrier islands are called the Golden Isles.

Frederica is located on the island of St. Simons just 25 minutes from Interstate I-95. This island, with its natural beauty and an understated elegance, is a true treasure that combines a very real sense of privacy and intimacy with easy access by land, air and sea.
