St. Simons Island, GA — Weather, Tides, Traffic, Gas Prices & Local Events

St. Simons Island is the largest of Georgia's Golden Isles — a barrier island reached from Brunswick by the F. J. Torras Causeway, about four miles across the Marshes of Glynn. It's where the beaches, the 1872 lighthouse, and Pier Village are, and where day-trippers, vacationers, and a year-round island community all share the same handful of roads. Out here the tide governs the day — the sand at East Beach and Massengale, fishing off the pier, the boat ramps — and a holiday backup on the causeway turns a quick mainland run into an hour in the car. Anchored by Oglethorpe's 1736 Fort Frederica and shaded by live oaks, the island wears its history easily.
