ON ISLAND: Icy Island Delights

Sunny days at the beach and strolls under golden sunsets call for a special kind of treat as the heat index rises. Kids of all ages agree that a cone or cup of a frozen delight helps keep temperatures down and temperaments up. 

Follow our island treasure map of frosty treats to cool off this summer and set a goal to taste test at every stop. Enjoy this guide to some cool spots on St. Simons Island to find icy concoctions from frozen yogurt and custard to affogato, Italian ice, and a waffle cone filled with good ole fashioned ice cream, topped with whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and a cherry on top. Click the locations listed below for more details about each stop and their must-try treats. 

As the line grows longer behind you and magical colors are scooped up before you, take a deep breath to ponder an eternal question: vanilla or chocolate? 

Or bubble gum, cake batter, butter pecan, mint chocolate chip, blue raspberry, lemon lime, mango, watermelon—the possibilities are as endless as rainbow sprinkles!
