There's no point in capitalizing and since it isn't a part of a proper noun, just a conjunction. Plural geographic proper noun usually take the, so you may want to consider including the article: the Spring Islands. However, if the locals never use it, by all means, omit it.

I assume you mean there are two places, one called Callawassie Island and the other called Spring Island. In that case I would say "Welcome to Callawassie and Spring Islands".
