St. Simons Island is the largest of the Golden Isles along Georgia’s southern Atlantic coast. Eighteen square miles in size, it is accessible by car via the F.J. Torras Causeway. It’s history is rich with skirmishes between the French, Spanish and English all vying for settlements along the southeast coast. Fort Frederica is the product of the English buffering themselves for the Spanish incursions from Florida.
St. Simons has a wide array of lodging choices ranging from stately hotels to comfy B & B’s. Golf resorts, condo rentals and vacation homes round out your choice for a spectacular St. Simons Island vacation. Make sure you bring or rent some bikes to explore, up close, all the beauty the island offers. And being an island, make time for some water sports and quality beach time. The restaurant scene here is packed with great local eateries, many serving fresh local seafood.
