Things To Do
Cap Fendig's Dolphin & Fishing Tours
This is our favorite cruise to take people on when they come to visit the Golden Isles. You can pack your own cooler with snacks and drinks and bring it with you for a beautiful sunset cruise. In June, you will likely see plenty of dolphin!
The Lighthouse
The lighthouse is the quintessence of Saint Simons Island. Historic, beautiful, and full of character. The lighthouse is nextdoor to the pier and Neptune Park Fun Zone. A perfect place to walk by after grabbing an ice cream at Saint Simons Sweets.
World War II Museum
This is a history buff's dream! Did you know that our little Georgia island played a role in World War II? Enjoy an interactive museum detailing our involvement in the War.
Neptune Park Fun Zone
You can play putt putt, enjoy the pirate park, or hang out at the pool that has a waterpark for the little ones!
Play Golf at Sea Palms
Sea Palms is a great resort course on Saint Simons Island that would be fun for 9 holes or a full round of 18. If you'd like to play a round while you're in town, Sea Palms is a great option!
Driftwood Beach
Visit Driftwood Beach if you are taking a trip over to Jekyll Island to explore the old driftwood and enjoy a walk on the beach. If you are a Walking Dead, Outer Banks, or The Menu fan, you may recognize this famous landscape!
Jekyll Island Landmark Trolley Tour
Did you know that at the turn of the century, 1/6 of the world's wealth was summering on Jekyll Island? Spend a few hours living like the Rockefellers and strolling through the historic cottages of beautiful Jekyll Island.
Brunswick Rocks
Looking for a bit of adventure before the big day? Brunswick Rocks is on the same block as the venue in Brunswick and a great way to spend a fun afternoon in the a/c.
Southern Soul Barbeque
Stop by our favorite barbecue joint to enjoy some of the best smoked meat in the South. Keep your eyes peeled for the Guy Fieri cutout - his telltale calling card for any restaurant he’s featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives!
Saint Simons Trolley Tours
While we may have done it 1,000 times, the Saint Simons Island Trolley is the best way to see the Island. We recommend doing this on the first day to see all of the places that you may want to visit on your trip. Pro tip: book the earliest tour in the morning because you will get the best breeze.
Saint Simons Island Bike Rental
Slow things down and get back to your childhood roots with a daily bike rental from Zoom! Most of Saint Simons is bike-accessible, so take one for a cruise around town.
Explore the Saint Simons Village
The Village is Saint Simons Island's "downtown" area. This is where you will find many of the popular shops, restaurants, and the famous pier and lighthouse that you see in all of the pictures. Spend an afternoon walking around the Village and make sure to stop at our favorite ice cream shop, Saint Simons Sweets!
Georgia Sea Turtle Center
One of our favorite rainy day activities or a great stop on if you're on Jekyll is visiting Georgia’s only sea turtle education and rehabilitation facility! Get an up-close look at the incredible creatures and see the rehabilitation efforts in action. Pro tip: You can purchase tickets online for a discount.
The Lady Jane Shrimp Excursion
Welcome aboard the Lady Jane, a retired steel hull shrimp boat turned eco-tourism and conservation vessel! Take in the scenic views of the coastal waterways as the crew scoops up nets of critters from the river bottom and teaches about the native sea life before tossing the catch back.
Pinball Palace
Voted one of the best pinball locations in the world! Step back in time at the Pinball Palace, perhaps more accurately described as a “living museum” than an arcade. Take your pick from hundreds of machines ranging from the newest state-of-the-art units to restored vintage machines dating as far back as the 1960s.
Summer Waves Water Park
One of the best, and certainly most fun, places to cool off in the summer is Summer Waves Water Park! Bring the whole family to enjoy water slides, a lazy river, and the wave pool.
Fort Frederica National Monument
War was imminent as James Oglethorpe established Fort Frederica in 1736, to help protect the British colonies from the Spanish in Florida. Today, archeology has uncovered the story of the 1,000 people that once lived here and now you can visit the site.
Christ Church
Built in 1820, Christ Church is home to gorgeous architecture, stained glass, and a historic cemetery where many famous Georgians have been laid to rest. Christ Church was home to the Wesley brothers before they returned to England to found the Methodist Church. Stop by to tour the church and the cemetery.
