The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island

Little St. Simons Island, Georgia

One of the East Coast’s best kept secrets, Little St. Simons Island is one of a string of undeveloped barrier islands that stretch for 70 miles between Brunswick and Savannah, Georgia. This section of the Georgia coast is perhaps the largest contiguous portion of the Atlantic shore left in a relatively natural state. As important as the islands are, the expansive salt marshes that separate them from the mainland are one of the world’s most productive ecosystems.

With an emphasis on fresh local seafood and regional specialties, chefs lure even the most diehard angler away from the water into the dining room.
