Looking for a gorgeous, quiet island getaway for summer? Visit Georgia's scenic Jekyll Island, a beautiful paradise with stunning beaches, opportunities for fishing and boating and tons of relaxing activities to be enjoyed by young and old.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide how you want to experience Jekyll Island. You can enjoy the island from a camp site under the stars or from within the comforts of your hotel room. Either way, you are sure to have an exceptional time. For nature-lovers, the island offers stunning sights. For luxury-seekers, the island offers world-class accommodations.

  2. Step 2

    Book a dolphin tour. You can see the ocean and the island this way and get a fantastic break on oceanfront rooms, including food and tickets for the dolphin tour.

  3. Step 3

    Become a beachcomber. Jekyll is a barrier island, so this means 10 miles of unique and constantly changing beaches. You can enjoy the array of seashells, wildlife and evolving changes brought about by time and tide.

  4. Step 4

    Kayak through the inland waterways. Georgia's Jekyll Island has an extraordinary protected ecosystem just begging to be explored and a kayak ride through the marshes offers amazing opportunities to see the unique wildlife of this area.

  5. Step 5

    Look at the sea turtles. Unique to Jekyll Island are its female loggerhead sea turtles who come to lay their eggs in nests on the beautiful beaches between May and August of each year. They are almost extinct; so it is truly a wonder to see these rare beauties.
