Very much a thriving seaport and known as the Shrimp Capitol of the World, Brunswick's waterfront bustles with activity. A favorite sight is catching a golden sunset over the fleet of shrimp boats that dock there. Southern hospitality and mild year-round weather combine to make it a delight to explore on foot. Antique shops, interesting stores, restaurants and restored buildings can be discovered around most any corner. Old Town boasts several establishments amid rows of splendid examples of fine Victorian architecture. The Mahoney-McGarvey House, near the Courthouse, is considered the finest example of "carpenter gothic" architecture in Georgia. Numerous cultural activities, including those held downtown at the historic Ritz Theatre, and annual events, like the Seafood Festival, the Old Town Tour of Homes, and The Blessing of the Fleet are popular celebrations of our City's heritage.
