Weekend Travel Guide To St. Simons Island

Beach-combing as a favorite activity on the Georgia island of Saint Simon.

St. Simons Island sits on the Westernmost point on the Eastern Seaboard. What does this mean for you? At low tide, a mile of wondrous beach is exposed allowing for beach-combing at its finest. Breathtaking views and plenty of room to walk the beaches looking for shells.

Word of caution to the travelers to St. Simons – just as the tide goes out it will eventually come back in. Check the tide changing times so you can remain safe on your Georgia weekend getaway.

While strolling the St. Simon Island beaches be on the lookout for the occasional sea dollar. Just remember that sea dollars are living creatures. That being said, If the sea dollar is dark let it be.

Where is one of the best places to eat on St. Simons – Gnats Landing – Fried Pickles

No trip to St. Simons Island is complete without a visit to Gnats Landing Restaurant. Gnats offer a true beach community feel with open-air breezes and some delectable food.



My top pick at Gnats is the best fried pickles I have ever eaten. Up until my trip to Gnats, I had never been a big fried pickle fan. I was actually coaxed into trying them by a friend. Oh wow, I am sure glad I did. They were absolutely to die for.
