Most days spent on St. Simons Island and the surrounding Golden Isles are sunny and warm, but every now and again storms pass through! For vacationers, a rainy day trapped inside with kids excited for a beach day can be a scary thought! We’ve put together a list of recommendations for you and your family to try next time your beach day gets canceled by the rain!
Rainy Day Activities in the Golden Isles
