St.
Simons Island is a unique environment not found anywhere else on
the East Coast. A year-round community with the attractiveness
of beach and golf resort life, graced by the Atlantic Ocean,
bound by endless marshes and coastal rivers and sheltered by
majestic oaks draped in Spanish moss. It is a place where
nature takes second billing to none except, perhaps, when the
fire-crackers fly over the Pier on the 4th of July.
