Sometimes, a place has so much soul that it seems to seep out of every brick and every Spanish moss-draped oak. The Golden Isles is one of those kinds of spots... and there are tons of ways to experience it. From the distinctive cuisine, rich with fresh seafood and smoky barbecue, to the historic attractions, ranging from rice plantations to 18th-century forts, there is a ton of culture to discover. As you cross the region by land and by sea, you'll find yourself with a new appreciation for the little things that make the Golden Isles so unique.
There's no better way to experience a region's culture than through their cuisine. Fried green tomatoes, crispy okra, flavorful rice-stuffed collards, wild-caught shrimp served a ton of ways, bourbon peach cobbler, and more give diners a real flavor for the local low country cuisine. The casual, homey setting and scenery make this a typically relaxing spot that will have you tempted to come back more than once during your trip!
