End of the month, taking a 4 day trip to quickly check out three locations. St. Augustine, Amelia Island/Fernandino Beach FL and St. Simon's Island, GA. I know a little about each but have never been. This is the first of many potential scouting trips for possible retirement or snow-birding. Initially St. Simon's wasn't on the list, but someone recommended it and after checking it out, it has some appeal. Flying in to Jacksonville. Not much time in each place, but it's recon for possible longer stays if a place stands out.
We won't be looking for fancy restaurants with gourmet food, but would appreciate good casual places. Also, bars with craft beers and/or live music, or even a cool outdoor beachy scene, breweries, or any noteworthy or historic places to check out or explore. Anything we'd need to know? I'm somewhat curious just how hot that area is in summer if you're near the cost. I know Savannah in the summer and Beaufort SC, and those can be pretty oppressive, but also just inland.
