Experience tranquility on the Georgia coast and the spectacular ecological riches found on Little St. Simons Island. The privately owned barrier island is accessible only by boat and has been managed as a nature sanctuary for generations. Its wetlands, woods and shell-strewn coastline beckon exploration by foot and kayak.
