Summer Vacation: Sea Island, Georgia

Award-winning and the kind of place where families return for generations, Sea Island has 10,000 acres and 5 miles of beach.

Location is 85 miles south of Savannah GA, and 70 miles north of Jacksonville FL. Guests reach Sea Island via a causeway from the mainland to St. Simon's Island; Sea Island is a short drive beyond.

The cluster of islands off Georgia's coast was a playground for the rich as early as the 1880's, and Sea Island was built by an automobile magnate as a place for the wealthy to relax in style.

Today the place welcomes families with kids' programs and many family activities. Summer choices include Bingo, nightly turtle walks, and a new Kids' Campout with campfires, stories, and S’mores.
