Best Time to Visit
Before 1975, Brunswick Golden Isles Airport was known as NAS Glynco, after Glynn County. It served as a U.S. Navy Base mostly for blimps. NAS Glynco was to be officially closed by 1974 despite its strong connection and impact on the rest of Glynn County. In 1980, the Glynn County Airport Commission was founded to develop the former Glynco site and rename it to Brunswick Golden Isles Airport. The airport is near several major cities and towns, including Townsend, Grover Island, and Kingsland.
