Things To Do
Driftwood Beach
This is a really unique stretch of beach on the island. Highly recommend a sunrise walk if you can manage it!
Great Dunes Beach Park
This is a 20-acre public beach with plenty of parking, restrooms, volleyball, bocce ball, etc. This is our recommendation if you're looking for a more traditional beach day!
Georgia Sea Turtle Center
This is a really cool (and educational) option right next to the resort, especially for kids. From the website: Georgia’s only sea turtle education and rehabilitation facility. The Center offers the public a chance to learn about sea turtles and see rehabilitation in action with a host of interactive exhibits and experiences.
Landmark Trolley Tour
Any of the tours on Jekyll Island would be great daytime activities, but we espcially recommend the Landmark Trolley Tour for a quick history of the estate. It's a fun way to see the historic district with guided narration on the Gilded Age moguls who created the Club, and you're also given the chance to look around in one of the historic cottages.
Jekyll Island Beach Village
Beach Village is the main shopping area of Jekyll Island -- gift shops, restaurants, liquor store, market, general store, etc. for anything you might need while staying on the island.
