If staying at The Cloister or renting a Sea Island cottage, you will have access to The Beach Club. Otherwise, public access is located on the south end of St. Simon’s Island.

St. Simons was just named Southern Living's Top Beach in the South!

The Golden Isles are known for some incredible golf courses and several PGA players call it home.

If you stay at a Sea Island property, including the Inn at Sea Island or a Sea Island Cottage, you will have access to the three Sea Island Courses (Seaside, Plantation, Retreat).

If you do not stay at a Sea Island property, there are public courses on St. Simons - a nearby one is Sea Palms Resort.

For history buffs, consider visiting the beautiful land that encompasses Fort Frederica.

It is located across from Wesley Church at Frederica. Fort Frederica National Monument preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort and town built by James Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary of the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids. About 630 British troops were stationed at the fort. A town of up to 500 colonial residents had grown up outside the fort; it was laid out following principles of the Oglethorpe Plan for towns in the Georgia Colony.

The Wesley Memorial Gardens and Celtic Cross monument were dedicated to John and Charles Wesley on June 12, 1988. This two-acre garden has over 60 varieties of native oak trees, plants, and shrubs, including more than 4,000 azaleas, which bloom around late March-early April. Located between Christ Church and Wesley Church at Frederica. The gardens are open during daylight hours, free of charge, to the public and especially beautiful this time of year.

Christ Church is located across the street and is open to visitors Tuesday – Saturday

2:00pm – 5:00pm
