Winter in the Golden Isles is a treat. Temperatures cool down into the 60s during the daytime in December, January and February. Overnight lows creep into the 40s, though freezing temperatures are extremely rare. We recommend packing layers for your winter trip to the Golden Isles, as the temperature can sway quite a bit between midday and into the evening hours.
