Lush homes, gorgeous sandy beaches, culinary delights and fascinating cultural and maritime histories combine for a magical adventure on St. Simons, Sapelo and Jekyll Islands.
Highlights
• Prepare for your field trip to Jekyll with lunch at the Jekyll Island Club hotel and learn how the island was made into a winter retreat for families including the Rockefellers and Pulitzers.
• Explore St. Simons battlegrounds, evocative churches, lighthouse and beaches and then board the Lady Jane shrimp vessel and sort the shrimp from her catch for a tasty snack.
• After a ferry ride to Sapelo Island, join a local expert to learn the stories of the island.
Activity Notes
Walking up to a half-mile, including beach and marsh walks; ferry ride to Sapelo. .
