Be mindful of distracted drivers when walking or biking.
It's easy to forget when you're in the midst of the full St. Simons Island charm, but the same rules apply here as at home with respect to cars and pedestrians. I've seen many a people looking at their phones while driving on our little narrow streets. Please stay vigilant and walk and bike as far away from the roadway as possible.
