St. Simons Island
The largest and most populated island in the Golden Isles, St. Simons is a low-key beach town with oak-filled neighborhoods and picturesque churches.
The 1,000 or so residents of Jekyll Island, a barrier island just off the coast of Georgia and part of the Golden Isles, have the rare distinction of living in a state park, where the water views and natural surroundings are equally breathtaking.
While not taking in the scenery, residents enjoy biking to the Beach Village, getting out on one of the several golf courses or tennis courts, or simply strolling along the miles of beaches.
In addition to four golf courses, including one by acclaimed designer Donald Ross, Jekyll also offers a variety of other amenities and activities to stay busy. From kayaking and paddleboarding, to fishing excursions and cruises, the water is an endless source of enjoyment for island residents of all ages.
Real Estate
Jekyll’s real estate options include new construction cottages and homes starting in the mid $500ks, with older homes starting at around $400k.
