It occurred to me this morning in reading a blog by Eric Bouler entitled Localism Photos, should photos be by local area Members only? That in doing an overview of "The Golden Isles" entitled So What are the Golden Isles I'd neglected to include many of the smaller areas incorporated and not that add to the charm and beauty of the area. Therefore from time to time I'll add another neighborhood to localism within the context of the Golden Isles.
The First of these will be Blythe Island. Yes a true residential island that is completely surrounded by several rivers, deepwater and tidal creeks. Marshlands, lakes gated communities and single family residences along with one store, several churches, a state park and an RV park all co-exist on this inland island that is 15 minutes from the town of Brunswick and bisected by Interstate I-95 on its extreme Eastern corner and accessed exclusively by Georgia 303.
Although dotted with multiple residences in and out of gated communities the home spacing allows you to continue the illusion of solitude amongst the oak groves and coastal marshes. It's not really difficult to imagine that in the midst of such growth wild life abounds. Yes, coastal birds are everywhere along with deer, wild boar, turkey and the common field birds, alligators and sea otters. If fishing, sailing, crabbing or power boating are your thing on Blythe Island all you have to do it reach out and touch the opportunity. Campers also are fortunate to have two exceptional locations Camp Glynn is another coastal island accessed by private causeway. Camp Glynn is a thirteen acre home to Woodsman of The World is used as a retreat for its members and other organizations throughout the South Eastern States. Additionally, the Boy Scouts of America have their own camp on another portion of the island known as Camp Toloche. Overall this southern portion of Glynn County is considered a growth area and is a desirable location. New shopping and businesses along with an additional middle school is about to begin construction in the area but NOT on Blythe Island for these folks enjoy their status as a residential destination for its many local inhabitants.
