When you visit Georgia’s Golden Isles, you’re sure to fall in love with everything about the laid back sophistication of our barrier island communities. So much so, that you’ll probably want to take a piece of it home with you! While you can’t package up the beach in a carry-on bag, there are plenty of treasures to be found that will help to commemorate your best vacation in your favorite destination.
There are plenty of unique shops and original boutiques on the islands of the Georgia coast – especially on St. Simons Island, where you’ll discover one-of-a-kind, handmade accessories, art, and home décor as well as antiques, vintage goods, and original fashions for the whole family. It’s easy to weave in shop stops as you sip, stroll, snack, and play at locations like the Pier Village and Redfern Village districts. You can also make a full day of it and shop your way across St. Simons Island to the Sea Island area, catching the best of it all as you go!
For this option, follow our path starting from Pier Village at Mallery Street on the southern end of the island. The Village serves as the downtown-esque hub of St. Simons Island, with access to the fishing pier, as well as the St. Simons Lighthouse and Neptune Park. From here, head to the central area of the island and visit Redfern Village off Frederica Road for a high-end shopping experience with dining, nightlife, and impeccable sights. Returning to Frederica Road, you can pop into a variety of shops and boutiques in the Retreat Village region as you work your way north toward Market Street and the Shops of Sea Island. Don’t miss the Avenue of the Oaks at 100 Retreat Avenue for a drive through the breathtaking double row of 160-year-old stately oak trees!
Local Tip: During your shop-hopping adventures, keep an eye out for the tree spirits of St. Simons Island – striking faces hand carved into the trees by artist Keith Jennings in the 1980s. There are more than 20 tree spirits on the island, seven of which are on public property, including locations at Pier Village, Redfern Village, and on Frederica Road. For more information on this famous local legend, visit the Golden Isles Welcome Center at 529 Beachview Drive, Saint Simons Island, GA 31522. (View Map)
