Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the islands of St. Simons, Jekyll, and Tybee, which have recently been recognized as three of the top five best beach towns in the South. Jekyll Island was ranked as the fifth best beach town in the South, celebrated for its beauty, pristine wilderness, otherworldly nature, and function as a refuge for local wildlife. Tybee Island was ranked fourth on the list, being praised as a little island packing a big punch. Tybee contains over three miles of beaches, hundreds of years of history, and countless opportunities to explore nature making it one of the most beloved areas in the First Congressional District. St. Simons was ranked as the number one beach town in the South, surpassing a list of 50 other iconic locations. St. Simons' laid-back and welcoming atmosphere, delicious restaurants, renowned golf courses, and historic landmarks are reasons why the idyllic town beats out all the rest. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to say that Georgia's First District is home to three of the best beach towns in the South. ____________________
