Just came back from the lodge at Little St. Simons Island and was very satisfied with our short, though fabulous, getaway. The whole island is part of the inn; there are no other properties or neighbors in the island that is about 10,000 acres in size. Full of beautiful trees, it has bike, horse and walking trails that run through the forests and a beautiful, peaceful beach. My husband and I absolutely felt in love with this special place and will strongly recommend it. We give it a 10! TripAdvisor.com User

Georgia's waterfront is limited to a stretch of about 100 miles between the South Carolina and Florida borders -- but oh, what a stretch it is! Some of the most beautiful beaches in the East are on the subtropical barrier islands that lie just off the mainland coast. The four islands known as the Golden Isles -- St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island -- are great vacation spots. Foders.com

St. Simons Island is a great place to spend a day or more. You'll find many restaurants, little shops, a beautiful beach (East Beach), kayak tours....
Best of all was the concert under the lighthouse near the pier. The band is playing in a little white pavilion, while you are chilling in a chair or on a blanket, talking to your friends, enjoying food (you can bring whatever you want) and listening to the music.
I can't imagine a better location than this to hear an open air concert. The lighthouse and the beautiful view over the ocean (sometimes with dolphins) and to Jekyll Island....
If you like to stay longer, there are plenty of other things to do around Brunswick and the Golden Isles (Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island, St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island).

Some are wildlife refuges but the developed islands of Jekyll, St. Simons and Sea Islands are accessible via bridges and offer superb beaches, great golf, and a wide range of accommodations. Theses sandy shores are also the perfect spot to unfold your beach chair, gaze out at the blue Atlantic, and reflect on your journey through Georgia...

Ghost Walk of St. Simons Island
Explore “the history and mystery” of the Golden Isles during evening ghost tours in the St. Simons Island Village. The tours begin at 9:00 pm, at the foot of the St. Simons Island fishing pier. After a brief welcome and introduction, Jenny Strauss, your hostess and guide, leads her groups on a 90-minute journey through the past. Along the way, she shares the tales that have been handed down through the generations: of the ghost ship that plies the waters of St. Simons Sound, a disagreement that ended in murder, and the young millionaire who built a church as a memorial to his bride. Visitors learn of the Indian village that once occupied a dark and quiet portion of Mallery Park, and of the mysterious spirits that dwell among the crooks and boughs of live oak trees throughout the island.
