We had friends visiting from out of state and we were looking for something to do. I happened to see a flyer in a store on Newcastle and thought it would be fun to try. It was fascinating- they grow their own sugar cane and do everything in-house. With a distillery in Richland and one in Brunswick, the tour educates you about the process and provides a 5-rum tasting experience. Unfortunately for my wallet, I learned that I really don’t like cheap rum but the Georgia select was nice and buttery. Theo gave us a nice educational tour and was very knowledgeable. He clearly respects the process and showed us the science and the art of distillery. My only suggestion to them would be to have souvenir-sized samples for sale. I would have bought gifts if they would have had them. It was fun doing such a great tourist activity in my own backyard!

3. Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 606 reviews
This beautiful plantation represents the history and culture of Georgia’s rice coast. In the early 1800s, William Brailsford of Charleston carved a rice plantation from marshes along the Altamaha River. The plantation and its inhabitants were part of the genteel low country society that developed during the antebellum period. While many factors made rice cultivation increasingly difficult in the years after the Civil War, the family continued to grow rice until 1913.The enterprising siblings of the fifth generation at Hofwyl-Broadfield resolved to start a dairy rather than sell their family home. The efforts of Gratz, Miriam and Ophelia Dent led to the preservation of their family legacy. Ophelia was the last heir to the rich traditions of her ancestors, and she left the plantation to the state of Georgia in 1973.A museum features silver from the family collection and a model of Hofwyl-Broadfield during its heyday. A brief film on the plantation’s history is shown before visitors walk a short trail to the antebellum home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the home as Ophelia kept it with family heirlooms, 18th and 19th century furniture and Cantonese china. A stop on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, this is an excellent spot to look for herons, egrets, ibis and painted buntings. A nature trail that leads back to the Visitors Center along the edge of the marsh where rice once flourished.

A very unassuming place when you drive in, but the tour of the house--which is all original--was really great. There's so much history in each room of the house, and our tour guide did a fantastic job answering everyone's questions and providing all of the context for what we were seeing.

Beautiful, picturesque regional campground. It's quite obvious the local citizens and government take great pride in "their" park. This is a local very quiet campground that is filled with fisherman with boats. The $44 a night included full hook up, 30/50 amp with cable. The sites were spacious, shady, private, and had more than enough room for everyone and all their water toys. The marina and bait shop, complete with lift and ramp, is the definite main attraction here. Many campers were busy fishing and crabbing from the docks and obviously truly enjoying the best that Georgia has to offer. In addition to the tidal waters, there is also a freshwater lake that includes a swimming beach which is probably jammed packed with locals in the summer. The only drawback would be the ever present Georgia Gnats and the occasional whiff of the Brunswick Paper Plant but both weren't enough of a deterrent to keep us from visiting again.

We arrived and there were only a few people playing in a tournament toward the end. At our end, there was no one. They soon left and we had the place all to ourselves. They played nice music. It was pretty and bright inside. The bathrooms were clean. They had updated screens that was very fun to keep score. They offered drinks at their little bar. They had food but I did not like the taste of it. It tasted like gas fumes to me... but besides the food, everything else was absolutely perfect! The young lady pictured below, she was so friendly and professional. She made us feel at home there and because of that, it set the tone for our afternoon. We had a blast, so I will be back!!!!
