Welcome to St. Simons Island and the Georgia Golden Isles!
St. Simon Island, GA is home to fabulous beaches, golfing, charter fishing, spas and salons, and a variety of restaurants, fun events and entertainment for everyone.

St Simons Island Beaches
St. Simons Island has glorious beaches that can stretch out for hundreds of yards at low tide.  Coast Cottages is located at the largest part of the St. Simons beaches, just south of East Beach and the old Coast Guard Station.  This is the finest beach on the island. Our high tide has ample beach for body surfing and our low tide expands the beach to couple of hundred yards wide.  

St Simons Island Golf
If not for the beach, golf would be king on St. Simons Island and the surrounding area.  St. Simons Island is home to three golf clubs on the Island and 234 holes of golf in the immediate area.  

Bicycles and Bicycling on St Simons Island
This is one of our favorite family activities.  Paved trails take you from Coast Cottages to the center of town or to the pier.  Some homes have bicycles, but additional bikes can be rented five minutes by foot from Coast Cottages at Ocean Motion or in town at Monkey Wrench.  Visit www.oceanmotion.biz or call Monkey Wrench at 912.634.5551.
