Water Activities
Many guests tell us that their favorite time here is spent either on their balcony or on the swings, watching the movement of the water and listening to the lapping waves. The beaches of St. Simons are made for walking or bike riding, because of our hard-packed sand at low tide. But we also have 5 ocean front pools if that’s your thing. Young children love the water park in the Village. The island also has great fishing, boat rentals, a one-of-kind Shrimpin’ Cruise, sea kayak tours, and dolphin cruises.
