We recommend making a little trip out of our wedding if you can! There are so many wonderful places to see and things to do while you’re here. Jekyll Island and St. Simons are both charming small-town beach communities, perfect for slowing down and soaking it all in. We suggest bringing a beach chair, searching for local gems, and simply relaxing for the weekend. To help you get started, here are some of our favorite recommendations!
Fun fact: This is where we got engaged! The St. Simon’s pier and village are right near the Lighthouse!
There’s also Red Bug Motors Pizza beside it!
It is a beachfront Baja-Mexican restaurant and tiki bar on Jekyll Island, serving fresh tacos, margaritas, and coastal favorites in a laid-back, island setting.
Jekyll Market is the island’s one-stop shop for fresh groceries, quick bites, local seafood, sweet treats, and coastal gifts. Whether you’re grabbing picnic supplies, enjoying on-the-go eats, or browsing unique souvenirs, it’s a convenient and charming spot to experience a taste of Jekyll Island. Although, if you plan to grocery stop I recommend stopping first in Brunswick!
