What to see/do/eat on SSI?

My hubby and I are stopping at SSI for 3 days on our way home from a trip to Spring Training in 2 weeks (our first trip; we usually vacation on Hilton Head Island). We%26#39;re staying at the Saint Simons Inn at the Lighthouse. We are in our mid-50%26#39;s and plan to spend plenty of time walking the beach and riding bikes, but we%26#39;d like to spend a little time seeing the sights in the Saint Simons Island/Jekyll Island area. Any recommendations on what we must see? Any recommendations on where we should eat? Thanks!

fort fredricka, the john wesley oak, and the site of the battle of bloody march are site seeing destinations, for eats, you are next door to southern soul bbq, barbara jeans crab cakes and the 4th of may are in the nearby village too. for finer dining you are steps from the georgia sea grill and jmac%26#39;s. enjoy your trip.

St Simons Island is very different from Hilton Head in the way of our daily life. The pace is much slower here. We enjoy nature, meeting people and having an enjoyable meal and drink. There are places to listen to live music like the village pub as well as good restaurants like The Georgia Sea Grill, Delaneys and Nazzaro%26#39;s for dinner. Barbara Jeans for lunch. But there are also the galleries and the historic sites. One not mentioned is Christ Church near Fort Federica, and the Wesley Monument. This is towards the north end of the island and very beautiful and worth exploring. The beaches are found on the east side of the island ';East Beach'; with an old Coast Guard Station that is now a Museum. Rent bikes, shop and just find new friends. You will love it here.

My favorite thing to do when I go to SSI is to eat!!!

You MUST make reservations at the Georgia Sea Grille, it%26#39;s a must! Upscale, seafood dining.

My other recs are:

4th of May for breakfast and lunch (Butter Pecan French Toast is my fave)

Mullet Bay for a drink and bar food plus they have nice outdoor dining

CrabDaddy%26#39;s for broiled/grilled seafood

Crab Trap for fried seafood

Frederica House for steaks and seafood

Moondoggies for pizza

Sweet Mama%26#39;s for ice cream and desserts

Gnat%26#39;s Landing for lunch or dinner

Enjoy! I%26#39;m going to visit my grandmother who lives there in a few weeks and I can%26#39;t wait!!!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. We enjoyed our stay at SSI. Our only disappointment was the beach; even at low tide, the East Beach was small and crowded. Since the beach is probably the #1 ';requirement'; for our travels, we were disappointed. But even so, we%26#39;d like to make a return trip to SSI at some point. Again, thanks for the advice! ;-)
