This sliver of an island lying east of St. Simons is just five miles long with barely 750 acres of uplands. It has been known by a variety of names - The English called it Fifth Creek Island, in the Plantation era it was known as Long Island. By the 1920s, it was briefly called Isle of Palms, then Glynn Isle.
In 1926 Howard Coffin, the visionary Detroit auto magnate, bought the island and named it Sea Island. He then developed the renowned Cloister Hotel and exclusive cottage colony that graces the island today.
A visit to the Cloister places at one's beck and call 54 holes of golf, 17 tennis courts, a magnificent spa, swimming pools, 4 restaurants, horseback riding, skeet shooting, sailing, biking, nature tours, dance lessons, scuba instruction, fishing, along with 4.5 miles of beguiling beach.
