Georgia Beach Named One of the Best Winter Beaches in America
Winter is coming, and some areas of the U.S. are much nicer during the winter months than others. That is, if you like mild temperatures instead of lots of snow and ice. Each year, I always say that I’m going to get away from all the snow and cold and head deep south. But, I never do. Maybe this year will be that year, though. There’s a new list out about the best winter beach retreats, and it has some great options. As it turns out, Georgia has one of the best winter beaches in America.
The new list on the best winter beaches in America comes from Budgettravel.com. “White sand and warm waters are closer than you think,” they write. “When winter’s chill sets in, escape to one of these laid-back, sun-drenched spots. No passport needed.”
Before we get to Georgia, let’s look at the only spot above Florida. No. 1 on the list is San Juan, Puerto Rico. The article boasts the area’s “stunning beaches” and “16th-century colonial history,” adding, “hit the beaches in the blissfully uncrowded mornings (Ocean Park Beach and Isla Verde Beach are local favorites) and spend your afternoons strolling the cobblestone streets and admiring the candy-colored buildings of Old Town.”
Georgia comes in at No. 8 on the list with St. Simons Island. As the publication describes, “One of four islands that make up Georgia’s Golden Isles (a collection of barrier islands just off the southeastern coast), St. Simons is known for its centuries-old moss-draped oak trees, historical landmarks, white-sand beaches, and 99 holes of golf. Cars are allowed on the island, but the leisurely pace of life here will make you want to stay away from anything with a motor.” That sounds like a true winter getaway.
