Our vacation to St. Simons Island was very relaxing. What we discovered was a gem of a beach and a quiet place for retreat and solitude. The slow place of the island was a perfect spot to recharge from a hectic full time life. We enjoyed our time so much we have begun planning to go back again hopefully very soon.
Surrounded by expansive beaches, moss-draped oaks, and salt marshes, Saint Simons Island, is part of the Golden Isles chain near Brunswick, is a nearly 18 square mile island. Lots of opportunities to fish in the rivers, tidal creeks, and the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll find charters and guides at the Golden Isles Marina, and you can also fish off the St. Simons Island Pier and surf cast on stretches of beach on the island’s north end. For such a compact island, Saint Simons is filled with historic sites.
