There is kind of a median strip in the middle of the street, where the tree lives. It has a plaque and a small sign. The lore is that Native American lovers "met under the tree." Hmmm... and then what? Ate pizza? Anyway, it's a beautiful old majestic tree, with a trunk diameter of 13 feet!!!! Worth a look-see, and a photo. It's a lot more public now than it once was, but you could probably eat some pizza under it with your sweetheart.

It's a vast open beach with no shade and it's beautiful! Unfortunately for us when we went the wind was so incredibly wicked it was like an getting assaulted by the beach the second we walked onto open sand and it whisked my sons bucket down the shoreline which was tricky to get back lol so we didn't last long lol if the weather was better I imagine we could spend a day there. Bring a lunch and when you're ready go shower clean up eat and let the kids play at the park!

It has some facilities and there are picnic tables, but this is also the kind of island that has a lot of mosquitos so I would be heading towards the beach. This area has some inland water that is apparently permanent enough that they've put pontoon bridges over it, which is kind of cool. The beach here is a little bit wider than on other nearby areas, so the tide is not forcing you to literally sit on a dune and you can walk around the surf fishers. So it is a decent ocean beach, if still on the crowded side.

Pay your $10 per car fee to get onto Jekyll Island, qnd drive 4 miles north. Enjoy the 1950's - to modern home styles, as the drive is a beautiful one. There is street parking, but only on the left side of the street and only about 14 parking spots. The walk to the beach is easy to moderate while walking thru soft sand, until the beach, where ancient trees lay on their sides, and roots make for a gorgeous view. The day we were here, the beach was littered with the bodies of cannon ball jellyfish, which are surprisingly solid, so watch your feet. Enjoy the temperate water of the Atlantic ocean and the bright South Ga Sun for a perfect afternoon.

They are huge and so many, I've just never seen a beach like this. And they seem to be fossilized, the wood is very hard like stone! So cool!

The Council of the Royal Colony of Georgia laid out the city of Brunswick in 1771. The concept for…read morethe city utilized the Oglethorpe Plan, named after the colony's founder, General James Edward Oglethorpe. The design featured 14 large and small squares spaced evenly among residential and commercial land lots. These park-like areas were to be deeded to the people of the city in perpetuity, never to be sold or developed. Over the centuries, a number of the squares of Brunswick have been sold, encroached upon or developed for civic or private purposes. Queen Square, named in honor of the queens of England, is the only true square in Brunswick located within the downtown commercial district. The square has a memorial to Columbia Downing Jr, who joined the Union Army as a bugler in 1862 and moved to Brunswick in 1881. When the First National Bank of Brunswick was organized in February 1884, he became its first president. Col. Downing was well known for his philanthropy as well as his financial accomplishments. To honor his contributions to the prosperity of the city, a monument bench with his portrait, rendered in bronze, is located in Queen Square Northwest. The northern half of Queen Square is used as community green space. There, visitors find a stone Celtic cross monument to colonial founder, General James Edward Oglethorpe. He was well known in England for his vigorous reform in 1729 of the country's inhumane treatment of prisoners, many of whom were incarcerated for simple debts. His vision for the colony of Georgia was a fresh start for "the worthy poor," offering them a chance to own their land and escape poverty at home.

Although it is just a big flat open Square fenced-in piece of property, it is a big flat open Square fenced piece of property for your dog to run wild in. And there is plenty of room for them to do that!! There are a couple benches with Shades over the top of them as well as a center structure with benches in the big and the small dog park underneath it. There is a nice water feature in the entry area and they have one, yes one poop bag dispenser and trash can and the trash can is located outside the entry gate? They do have a few agility items and one somewhat tree in the middle. But your dog can run and play and have fun, and young lady met a pitbull here that didn't play well with other dogs, but through patience and understanding she taught him how!

The employees and camp hosts are friendly and helpful. There is lots of trails and wildlife to enjoy. Anytime we have had issues, they are promptly addressed and rectified.

We regularly visit Savannah, Jacksonville, St Simons, Jekyll Island, Amelia Island and Okefenokee National Park while staying here. Brunswick has all the necessities you would need and is a nice town. Husband always visits the Pinball Palace! Highly recommend staying a while and really exploring the beauty of this area.

Transients like me and longer term stays are available in the campground. There's just something about being waterside that I find helpful for my mood and my productivity, I was here for about two hours for phone calls and emails, sitting in the van and listening to the quiet lapping of the shore. There are activities here including picnic shelters, a playground, a fishing pier and a boat launch with crane. I was able to watch them pull a boat in with the crane and load it onto a trailer.
