Playing on the Water

Georgia summers are known for their heat. And one of the best ways to stay cool is on the water. Plan a trip to St. Simons Island and enjoy the perfect destination for Georgia watersports in our surrounding waterways. Whether you’re kayaking through the marsh, paddleboarding along the shore, surfing the waves, or heading out for a day of boating or fishing, there’s something for everyone. After a day on the water, your air-conditioned vacation rental with Real Escapes Properties is the perfect place to relax and recharge!

Kayaking

Kayaking is one of the most popular water sports here on the island. Paddle the scenic salt marshes and coastal waterways around the island, taking in the sights and looking for local wildlife. Explore on your own with the kayak rentals from Turtle Tides. Or sign up for a kayaking tour on St. Simons Island with Southeast Adventures Outfitters or Golden Isles Paddle Company. 

Paddleboarding

Another fun way to explore our marshes is on a paddleboard. Our calm waters are perfect for paddlers of all skill levels, and Turtle Tides offers the perfect introduction to the sport with its paddleboarding lessons. If you are already familiar with paddleboarding, you can reserve rentals through Barry’s Beach Service and start paddling the water on your own!

Surfing 

St. Simons Island is also a great place for surfers. Bring your board and ride the consistent, small swells off East Beach and Coast Guard Beach during your visit. Don’t have your own surfboard? Rent one from Kavpar! They also offer surf camps for those looking to go surfing for the first time. 

Boating

If you are looking to go out on your own for the day, we recommend reserving a boat rental with Uncharted Adventures. Cruise around on a pontoon and spend an afternoon sightseeing or fishing along the Georgia coast. Or opt for something more fast-paced with their exhilarating waverunner rentals. There are also several fantastic boat tours on St. Simons Island if you prefer to explore the coast with a guide. 

Fishing Charters

Cast your line and enjoy incredible fishing on St. Simons Island. Bring your fishing pole on your kayak or boat rental and fish on your own. Or embark on an epic fishing charter and let a local angler take you to the best spots.
