East Beach, St. Simons Island
East Beach, or St. Simons, offers a wide range of beach activities, from swimming and tanning through shelling and birdwatching to windsurfing and kitesurfing. It is not commercialized and tourist. The only reason this beach sometimes looks crowded in the high season is its small size.
The beach is in a nice neighborhood, great for picnics or bird watching, and not far from eateries. If you take a walk around, you are likely to see some turtles or even rabbits.
It's an unspoiled place, in a sense, and you'd be hard-pressed to find many burger stalls, bike rentals, or on-site restaurants. However, all such things are easy to find on the street when you need them.
Practically deserted in the low season, the beach is a fabulous place for a family outing or a calm stroll alone or a date - the ocean and dunes take on an unspoiled and relaxing look.
There's one thing about East Beach that amazes many of its visitors - the mile-long sandbars that run from shore to sea at low tide. At the same time, shallow tidepools appear - the perfect place for children to play safely in the water, which is especially important on windy days when the waves are high.
