Review:

St. Simons Island is actually the smallest of all the Golden Isles of Georgia, but the beaches on this beautiful little spot of land prove that size really doesn't matter when it comes to fun in the sun. It's a 1.5-hour drive out of Savannah, but if you're looking for something different to the classic Tybee Island days, it's a great place to go and many tourists don't tend to stop off here, so there's a very peaceful, relaxing sort of atmosphere here that is ideal for folks who want to sit on the beach and relax or reflect.

St. Simons Island a great spot to sit with a good book for a few hours or bring a picnic to share with friends. It's also a super location to visit if you're a keen wildlife spotter, with deer, alligators, rabbits, and many kinds of birds being spotted all around the island, while manatees and dolphins can be seen out in the waters. Other fun activities to enjoy here including hiking, cycling, and sailing, and there are several great golf courses in the local area too. St. Simons Island Map
