In a time when the majority of us are curtailing extraneous driving due to the high cost of gas, many summer vacationers are looking a little closer to home. In watching the morning news channel recently out of Jacksonville, they had a segment on Staycations---or staying home and enjoying the fun and recreation available in close proximity to home. Certainly the Golden Isles of GA offers a variety of choices as those of us fortunate enough to live here realize the natural beauty and recreational opportunities are simply fabulous. From golf and tennis, to water sports and fishing, our area offers diverse choices for either the athlete or the more sedate sand and sun worshiper. Dining opportunities from surf to turf are accessible and the “shopportunities” in Glynn County should titillate even the most discriminating buyer. Lodging choices range from chain hotels, quaint inns to even the nationally recognized Cloister Hotel on Sea Island.
