Largest of the Golden Isles off of Georgia's Atlantic coast, St. Simons Island is convenient to I-95 for those visitors close enough to drive.

For those vacationers coming by air, there are Delta flights into Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL, both about an hours drive from St. Simons.  There are also flights into Brunswick, GA and to the small airport on the island (McKinnon).

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

From the North--

1. From I-95, you will take Exit 38 for Saint Simons Island
2. At the end of the exit, you will take a left onto Highway 25, a divided highway.  BE CAREFUL; IT IS A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION.
3. This divided highway will eventually go into a right curve and turn into Highway 17.
4. Stay in the left lane for about 1½ miles.  You will come to the intersection to turn onto the causeway for Saint Simons.  Take a left onto the causeway (Torras Causeway).
5. You will have to pay at the toll booth—35 cents.
6. When you leave the toll booth, you will have a little time to get into the right lane.  You will go over three bridges:  the first two bridges are a high ones; the second one is a flat one and is right by a marina.
7. Right after you cross the flat bridge you are actually on the island. Bear right immediately onto Kings Way.  This road eventually changes names and becomes  Ocean Boulevard—you will pass houses, the village, a school,  Crab Trap, Ocean Motion,  Beach Club all along this road.  Eventually you will ride by a big marsh which will be on your left.
8. THIS STEP IS WHERE MOST PEOPLE GET LOST. You will stay on Ocean Blvd. until you come to a STOP sign where Ocean Blvd intersects with East Beach Causeway.   Stop.  (Note:  at the STOP sign you should be looking directly across to the “East Beach Neighborhood Watch” sign). TAKE A RIGHT  AT THE STOP SIGN.
9. Now you will come to another STOP sign.  Stop.  Go right again.  You are now driving past the rear of the Old Coast Guard Station and its maintenance building.
10. This comes up quickly!!!   Take the first left (onto the divided brick street named Coast Cottage Lane).  Your cottage is named Annie Laurie and is on the left side of the brick street.  It is cottage #12.  Have a wonderful time!
