The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island

Little St Simons Island is magical. MAGICAL. From the staff to the meals, from the excursions to the environment…there is just nothing else like it anywhere. Sure, with young kids it can be a little complicated. But it’s going to be worth it. It’s going to be an experience you remember for a lifetime.

Since the first time I read about Little St Simons Island, I longed to visit. Pristine beaches…undeveloped wilderness…privately-owned island…accessible only by boat…For this nature-loving family, it sounds like heaven on earth. Guess what. We finally got there, and it lived up to my every expectation.

The island opened to the public as a guest lodge in 1979, with the intention of preserving the natural state of the island. Today, only 32 guests at a time may stay at Georgia’s only all-inclusive.

If you have no kids, I recommend visiting LSSI October – April when children under 8 yo are not permitted on the island. It becomes a romantic adult haven. May – September young families are welcome with open arms…so May is when we visited, just on the cusp of Summer.
