St. Simons Island is the largest of the barrier islands that lies off the Georgia coast. The semi-tropical climate, abundance of sunshine, and gentle Atlantic breezes make it a popular resort for vacation seekers. Year-round golf, boating opportunities in the Atlantic, the Intercoastal Waterway, and nearby rivers are plentiful. Charter boats are available for offshore fishing, inland fishing, ecotours, and dolphin tours. Also kayak tours explore the marsh creeks and coastline. Fishing from the village pier or surf fishing are popular pastimes. There are 20 miles of paved biking and walking paths that wind throughout the island as well as on nearby Jekyll Island.
For the culturally minded, there are over 100 events each year in downtown Brunswick including jazz, ballet and the symphony. The local summer calendar is filled with many festivals and music events. Discover for yourself why St. Simons is one of the most sought-after coastal communities.
