Family Beach Vacations
Planning Your Family Vacation Spot
The Cloister At Sea Island is a private five mile long coastal vacation spot in Georgia. Sea Island is well known for its championship golf course, which after recent improvements, is now better than ever before.
There are a total of 54 holes, which include the 18 hole Plantation Course which opened in 1998, and was designed by Rees Jones. The 18 hole Seaside Course was renovated by Tom Fazio and re-opened again in 1999. You can learn to play golf at this course, or just play and polish your game.
The Sea Island resort also offers a spa with several fitness facilities. You can participate in special classes as well as personalized fitness and wellness programs. Other activities around the resort include tennis, horseback riding, sunset cruises, boating, fishing, shooting school, kayaking, swimming, and even diving lessons.
Sea Island also offers a family destination where kids can choose from several different vacation activities. Children can play afternoon tennis free of charge and even participate in complimentary golf and tennis clinics. During the summer, spring break and even holidays, the resort is happy to provide a program for kids ages 3 - 11.
Resort rooms and food
The Cloister at Sea Island offers you well over 250 guest rooms and suites that are situated in various houses on Sea Island. The Retreat House, Hamilton House, and Harrington House are all located on the beach, while the newer guest houses and Terrace Houses are all located between the beach and the tennis center.
Guests that visit Sea Island can also stay at the Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club, which opened in March of 2001. The Lodge offers guests 40 luxurious rooms and suites that are situated above the clubhouse with golf course and even ocean views. The main dining room at the Cloister offers live music and dancing during warmer months. The Terrace dining room, located at the Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club serves continental cuisine with a Southern twist.
Late spring, summer, and early fall are by far the best times to check out the Cloister at Sea Island. Sea Island is an hour drive by car from Savannah Georgia and one hour away from Jacksonville Florida. Private aircraft can also land at the McKinnon Airport on St. Simons Island, which is four miles away from the Cloister. No matter how you get here - you'll be glad you did!
