Every Boat Ramp on Golden Isles

About Golden Isles

The Golden Isles is Georgia's premier coastal fishing destination, encompassing the barrier islands of St. Simons, Jekyll, Sea Island, and Little St. Simons along with the mainland port city of Brunswick. The region's 80 miles of shoreline, vast salt marshes, and tidal creek systems create an exceptionally rich inshore fishery. The convergence of multiple river systems with the Atlantic Ocean produces nutrient-laden waters that support abundant gamefish populations.

Redfish are the star attraction, with trophy-class fish caught year-round in the marshes and along oyster-studded shorelines. Speckled trout, flounder, and sheepshead provide consistent action in the tidal creeks and around structure. Tarpon make summer appearances in the sounds, offering heart-pounding topwater action. Black drum and cobia add seasonal variety to an already diverse fishery.

Brunswick anchors the region with marinas, charter services, and boat ramps on the mainland. St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island offer resort-style amenities alongside fishing access, while St. Marys near the Florida border provides access to Cumberland Island National Seashore and its pristine surrounding waters. The Golden Isles' combination of world-class fishing, natural beauty, and Southern hospitality makes it an unforgettable destination.
