The Altamaha River in Georgia runs from the Atlantic Ocean just south of Savannah to almost the western state line. It is a meandering river full of excitement and rapid water. Sportsmen love the fishing on the Altamaha River and water enthusiasts find the white waters of many areas of the winding, turbulent Altamaha perfect for kayaking, canoeing and rafting. Motels in towns all along the Altamaha River are wonderful respite from the wonders of a day in nature.

Quality Inn

The Quality Inn Brunswick puts your right at the Atlantic Ocean mouth of the mighty Altamaha. Here, the river is broad and has many scenic tributaries winding off into the surrounding state park wilderness. Rooms at the Quality Inn include a continental breakfast, daily paper, refrigerators, microwaves, coffee pots, hair dryer, an iron, sofas and more.
