There's much to do on Saint Simons Island
Jekyll Island
Ancient driftwood in fantastical shapes litter this idyllic island's shore. See if you can spot the sea turtles that swim in its waters. Discover enclaves of verdant green, where you can enjoy total tranquillity, far from the 'real world.' Every path leads to oaks curtained in Spanish Moss, enchanting marshland or dreamy beaches.
Sea Island
Sea Island is just about as elegant as beach living gets. Enjoy the gleaming facilities at championship golf courses or go horseback riding along the beach. Make a splash and try your hand at any and all available watersports.
Little St. Simons
11,000 acres of natural landscapes and seven miles of sandy beaches reward visitors to Little St. Simons. You'll need a boat to get here, and it's well worth the journey. Discover untouched landscapes of glittering marshland and ancient oak trees decorated with moss, but most importantly, uncover a slower pace of life.
Gascoigne Bluff
At one point, Gascoigne Bluff was the first landing area for ships entering the harbor. It was inhabited by indigenous people long before Europeans arrived in the area. It is crowned by magnificent oak trees, some of which were used to build the Brooklyn Bridge in 1874.
St. Simons Island Light
At the southern edge of St. Simons is a stunning lighthouse that warns ships of the sandbars in St. Simons Sound. The original was built in 1810, and was destroyed during the Civil War to force Confederate soldiers to abandon the area. The current lighthouse emits four beams of light and a strong flash every minute.
