    Amazing natural views of God’s creation on display here. Sunrises are hard to put into words and pictures don’t do the scenery justice. Make sure to put on insect repellent before hitting the beach.

    Every year we stop here on our rv trip. Best bike trail - can circle entire island plus side roads. The new paved portions of trail at both north and south were nice improvement.

    East Beach is a wide, beautiful, clean, and well maintained beach! It's so big that there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your day. We checked out three Saint Simons beachs and this was the best by far!

    This is not just a nice beach with a big picnic area and public restrooms. Take time to walk the Wanderer Memory Trail to learn about local history, the story of an illegal slave ship. Signs and outdoor stations tell the story of the Wanderer and its cargo of slaves. The narrative focuses on Umwalla, a young boy brought on the ship.

    If you want to hike or bike while seeing interesting local topography, this is a good place. Very clean rest rooms and someone to answer questions and point you in the correct direction. Perfect weather the beginning of November.

    Seen baby alligators up near the dock. Very nice nature walk to Horton House. Take your time and enjoy the view.

    My husband and I stayed at the Jekyll Island Club resort. We rented bikes with Jekyll Island Wheels. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Chris helped us find the right bikes. He was patient and professional. He helped me find the right size bike and adjusted the seat as necessary. At the end of the day he asked how her journey was and fitted me into a bike for the following day. Chris is a wonderful asset to Jekyll Island wheels. We had a lovely day. Thanks to Chris.

    Played Plantation and Retreat courses and loved them both. Excellent condition. The grounds are gorgeous and the Lodge is beautiful. The locker room is a destination unto itself.

    We golfed here three days in a row. It was a 20-30 minute ride from The King and the Prince Hotel. This was a fun course to play and the course and greens were in great shape considering it was January. Ample room was available considering some holes had homes on them. Four holes take you out into the marsh. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Green fees and cart through the hotel was $55 each.

    Played Indian Mound and Pines Lakes on back to back days in July. Courses are in good shape. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Love the laid back atmosphere.

    We took the beach ride and it was fantastic. Our guide was very friendly and helpful as were all of the people at the stable. Everyone was very professional and knew what they were doing. Very pleasant to talk with them all about the area too. Would highly recommend this ride. We have done a number of these and this was our best beach ride. We would do it again and/or one of their other rides they also offer.

    DO NOT STAY HERE! I booked a reservation for New Years Eve weekend, however, we were unable to stay because we unexpectedly had to put our beloved family dog down that weekend. While we booked the non-refundable rate, I reached out to the Sea Palms staff and asked if there was any way, considering the circumstances, that we could use the reservation at a different date and pay any additional rate changes. We were not asking for a refund. My family really wanted to stay at Sea Palms and spend our time (and money) in Saint Simmons Island when we easily could have booked a trip elsewhere. Additionally, I had to follow up 3 times before I received a response saying there was nothing they could do. I was told by the front desk staff that this decision was ultimately up to the Revenue Manager. Very disappointing experience.

    We had a great tour of this old house and our guide Tom shared many interesting details about the lifestyle of the family in the summer. It must have been a wonderful fun filled summer for all of them. The actual furniture gave the house a real feel for what it was like back then. My favorite piece of furniture was the chair where the arms were carved to resemble the face of Teddy Roosevelt.
