St. Simons is a barrier island. It forms a barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and Georgia.
The island was named "San Simone" by the 16th Century Spanish explorers.
We took in a visit at the the lighthouse that was first built in 1810 by James Gould. Unfortunately it was destroyed by the Confederate army in 1857.
The current light house which stands today is still a working lighthouse. It stands 25 feet from the site of the original lighthouse.
The current lighthouse has 129 steps and you can climb them if you wish (we did not).
Below is a picture of the beach and the pier. Which people seem to fish from all night long!
This is also the place where we started our ghost tour. It was a leisurely walk through the city streets, but unfortunately, we did not see any ghosts. We only heard a lot of ghost stories.
Below is a picture of some of the most beautiful oaks. They seem to be everywhere on the island.
See you soon !
