The St. Simons Pier is the heart of the Island. Early risers gather to drink coffee and watch the sun come up. Island anglers stroll in to stake out a favorite fishing spot and settle in for the day.
Old timers sit at the entrance and greet newcomers, exchanging news of local interest.
Everyone wants to know what's biting, what's the bait. By day's end the sunset crowd gathers. In the soft evening light fishing boats head for home, seagulls seem to dance the sun down, silhouetted against the brilliant sky. When day is done, this is the place to bid farewell.
