Golden Isles Beaches

The beaches of the Golden Isles welcome you to an exhilarating landscape of sea, sun, and fun. There are so many different ways to enjoy our barrier island beaches—stroll along the endless sand, spend your day shelling, or wade in the water and splash in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Golden Isles beaches feature the ever-popular East Beach on St. Simons Island, the iconic Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, the unspoiled seven-mile beach of Little St. Simons Island and many more beaches to be discovered. Jekyll Island and St. Simons Islands' beaches are public, while the beaches on Little St. Simons Island and Sea Island are for private guests only.
