Saint Simons Island, Georgia
I realize that this list is missing the one thing many of you snowbirds fly south to seek – the beach! Don’t worry, I have you covered with a gem that’s so hidden, many Southerners haven’t even heard of it. St. Simons Island is located in the southern tip of Georgia’s tiny stretch of coast. It has all the beach and golfing that many leisure travelers seek with a dollop or two of Southern hospitality.
Attractions beyond the beach includes a history tracing back to Native Americans, Spanish Missions, and the Plantation era. The Lighthouse Trolley provides a nice overview of the history. In between activities, feast on fresh Georgia seafood. The island is known for its shrimpers.
