Located in 1956 in rural Georgia’s coast line, today I-95 has brought so much interstate type business I wouldn’t be surprized to find a hamburger joint sitting in that location. The Island Drive-In parked 300 cars and was owned by C.T.Stevens.

The Post office is where the entrance was located. Approx. address 1705 Frederica Road.
There was an apparently premature obituary for the Island in the Oct. 19, 1957 issue of BoxOffice:
BRUNSWICK, GA. – Curtis Stevens has closed the Island Drive-In because of other business interests. Stevens, who is a well-driller and operates a miniature railroad at the County Casino, said he (sic) not yet made plans to dispose of the property and equipment.
