S1 - South St. Simons Island


This section of St. Simons offers some of the most diverse environments for living on the Island.  Home of The Village, known as the heart of the Island, this is the old commercial center with restaurants, bars and boutiques as well as a theater, library and public park spaces along with The Pier, where people gather to fish, crab and simply hang out and watch the dolphins, the cargo ships and the ocean beyond. The only accessible beaches on St. Simons Island are found in S1. 

It is on this part of the Island that families have been coming for years for the beach lifestyle, renting cottages for the summer or purchasing vacation homes or condos.  It is a trend currently on the rise as more and more people discover all that the area has to offer.
