I rise today to recognize St. Simons Island's designation by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best underrated travel destinations in the U.S. They evaluated over 1,500 vacation destinations worldwide and ranked them across numerous categories. St. Simons Island, the largest barrier island on Georgia's Golden Isles, offers low-hanging Spanish moss, salty air, and warm ocean water. It is home to pristine beaches, miles of walking paths and trails, ice cream shops, and award-winning restaurants. Despite this, St. Simons has still managed to keep a low profile and is often overlooked by out-of-State beachgoers. I am proud that St. Simons Island, my new home, is being recognized for the stunning views and coastal relaxation it offers patrons.
