Wonderful views! My wife and I visited over Valentines weekend and saw a pack of dolphins very close to the shoreline. The lighthouse is a short walk away as well as tons of restaurants and shops. If you’re coming in the winter months be prepared it is a little chilly! Put this on your list of places to go while in St. Simons.

A fun spot to walk or sit and watch the ocean. Beware of tourist season, you will find no parking.

This is a must stop every time I come home. Beautiful view and the new amenities near the pier are a great addition when bringing the kids. See you this summer!!!

This place is gorgeous to walk up and down but it’s quite touristy and doesn’t give an authentic feel. The shops sold cheap items and there weren’t many things to do. I’d say it’s worth walking up and down to see the pier and lighthouse but not worth spending any money at

Small but cute pier, pretty relaxing! Not a whole lot of stores, prefect for a quiet get-away! Came here during peaches to beaches, didn’t stay long but enjoyed it.

The pier is a popular destination during the summer. During late winter. not so much. The tide was high(and I’m moving on… Ahem!) and the beach was non existent, however, it made for a lovely walk around the town. I greatly enjoyed being able to walk out over the water and listen to the lapping waves.

This place is beyond beautiful and relaxing. I visited during the week and was able to walk out on the pier and check some of the local shops out. I will stop back again for sure next time I’m in the area.

Great spot on the island! Take a walk on the Pier and watch the boats go by or watch to see what’s being reeled in. Do some shopping on Mallery St and then end with the view at the Pier, kind of perfect. On the 4th of July there was a beautiful fireworks show! It was set to patriotic music and I was very impressed!

When I think about Saint Simons I think the Village and I think the pier in the village. The St. Simons Island Pier always brings back great memories of my childhood when my parents would load us up in the car make the trip down to SSI; we would always stay in the Village and walk out on the pier to watch those fishing in the evenings after dinner and again early in the morning to watch the sun rise. I still do the same each year when I visit SSI. I think my wife thinks it’s just a pier and that I’m crazy for liking it so much, but it’s a lot more than just a pier to me.

In the otherwise generally unimpressive St. Simons Island area, there is at least one shining spot — the pier. While much of the island is fairly under-developed(and that is not really a bad thing), the pier is almost completely the opposite. Jutting out from the shore is a relatively massive construction, which allows for plenty of space, whether you just want to watch the others on the pier, or fish, or even just hang out for a few minutes. The one piece of advice: Keep an eye on the pelican. He(or she, perhaps) has a spot staked out towards the end of the pier, and does not seem at all interested in giving it up. Just about any other area seems fine — but give this bird a clear berth, unless you happen to have a fish head or something to toss to it.

This is by far my most favorite spot on the Island. You can always sit down and strike up a great conversation with everybody. I make a visit to The Pier every time I am in the Village which is quite often because that is were my office is located. Great place to people watch.
