Planning your honeymoon or just a quick getaway to a romantic beach? Consider the Georgia coast. With more than 100 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline and barrier islands, there are many retreats for privacy and relaxation. These are not your traditional honeymoon getaways but areas rich in natural beauty and steeped in cultural history.
On St. Simons Island, Georgia, a romantic resort celebrates its 75th anniversary. The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America. The resort has oceanfront rooms and beach cottages and Cabana rooms. It offers romantic beach-side massages in The Royal Treatment Cottage
Tybee Island is a beautiful coastal island the Indians named "salt" or "duh bee" in the old Euchee language. There is much to explore from nature to history. The mood of the island can be active or laid-back and the perfect romantic beach spot. The Savannah Beach Inn offers gourmet breakfasts and picnic baskets for the beach. It offers wine and cheese in the afternoon and cookies and milk before bed. Just steps from "the healthiest beach in the USA" according to "Health Magazine," this Victorian Inn is complete with a Southern wrap porch.
Jekyll Island Club has a fascinating history from the gilded age but is perfectly balanced with modern conveniences. It is an elegant but simple resort on an undeveloped (by law) and unspoiled barrier island off the Georgia coast. Share the same facilities that once housed the likes of J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, Joseph Pulitzer and William K. Vanderbilt. Modern activities such as geocaching are balanced with traditional activities such as nature walks and bird watching.
