Brunswick at a Glance
Brunswick is a great weekend getaway. You can visit the historic downtown area or take the car and explore the islands at your own pace. Sample some of the region’s seafood or take a leisurely cruise on the water. Golfing, fishing, you name it. There’s plenty of shopping too… factory outlets, malls and one-of-a-kind shops.
Places to Stay in Brunswick
Embassy Suites at the Glynn Place Mall (two miles east of I-95 exit 8), and the Jamison Inn are two of the nicest establishments in the area and offer a number of “extras” you don’t pay extra for.
Most of the national chains are located at I-95 exit 7. Budgetel, Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn, Motel 6, Ramada, and more are right here. I recommend the Shoney’s Inn. It’s far enough away from the Interstate to be quiet yet close enough for you to walk to several restaurants and plenty of shopping!

There are several fine restaurants located in the city of Brunswick as well as at the three major I-95 exits. The Grapevine Cafe in Brunswick’s historic district (Newcastle Street) is a must stop. The commercial area around the Glynn Place Mall (2 miles east of I-95 exit 8) has a number of restaurants too!
The areas major commercial strip and home to dozens of restaurants is right at I-95 exit 7. Fast foods like McDonald’s and Taco Bell to the area’s best. I recommend Jinright’s Seafood House (2815 Glynn Avenue) and Matteo’s Italian Restaurant.
