Beach Biking

Cycling is an ideal way to explore more remote portions of Little St. Simons Island. Hop on one of our Lodge’s beach cruisers and join a naturalist on a guided bike excursion to visit the mouth of the mighty Altamaha River, one of the most productive deltas on the East Coast. Or head south and explore the remnants of a tugboat wreck with a variety of marine invertebrates hiding in its hull.
