Iguanas is a popular spot for visitors to grab a bite at. They serve up drinks, seafood, and classic southern coastal dishes. Open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., they are highly reviewed. Come hungry after a ride because you will get served a decent-sized portion of food, and there is a large variety of local cuisine to choose from.

The Golden Isles Welcome Center is a great place to stop and gather information about the area. With highly-reviewed welcoming staff and a gift shop, the welcome center is a great spot to start a ride and pick out some cool points of interest to check out along the ride. Be sure to stop by and see the mermaid in the tree just outside the center.

Sidney Lanier Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Sidney Lanier Bridge is Georgia’s tallest cable-stayed bridge, soaring 486 feet over the Brunswick River and stretching nearly 7,780 feet in length. Completed in 2003, it replaced an older lift bridge to improve access for large cargo ships heading to the Port of Brunswick. Named after poet Sidney Lanier, the bridge hosts an annual 5K run with panoramic views of the Golden Isles, making it both a vital transportation link and a local landmark.
