Brunswick Ga is the closest. Jacksonville Florida is 45 min away Savannah Ga is about an hour and 15 minutes away. If you're looking to break the trip up, we recommend a night in Savannah. It's a charming city!

We recommend renting a car so you can explore the nearby islands. Uber isn't very popular here.

Click on the "Places to Stay" page for a more in depth answer on what island to stay on. Since most people are coming for different lengths of time, we chose not to block off rooms at any hotel. But we recommend airbnb or hotels.
