St. Simons Island- Beaches

You are going to get tired of reading the words "beautiful, amazing, awesome, best ever, etc." If you couldn't tell, we fell in love with the island and all we found there. The beaches were like none we had ever visited. They call them "disappearing beaches." You might say don't all beaches disappear with the tide? They do, but these are completely disappearing. The whole island is only about 20 ft. above sea level on average. they have had to build up the beaches to slow erosion, so that the tide comes up to a rocky cliff instead of a smooth beach. So at certain times of the day, the beach you may have played on in the morning will be under feet of ocean until later that evening. It was a pretty cool concept, once we got the hang of it and knew where to go and when.
