Jekyll Island, just off the coast of Georgia near Brunswick, is another of those great beach resorts that the southerners have managed to keep to themselves. I can’t blame them one bit.
The entire 5,700 acre barrier island is an historic area and nature preserve. Combine these attractions with the Atlantic seashore, a mild climate, tennis and golf and you have an ideal vacation destination for the whole family.
The Villas By The Sea, on the northern end of Jekyll, offers a wide choice of modern accommodations, all the desirable resort amenities and some of the best Jekyll Island Golf Packages. Choose between 10 great coastal Georgia golf courses, including the 3 located right on the island.
There are plenty of opportunities to relish the long, varied lore of the island - an interesting mix of colonial settlement, slavery, wealth, privilege and politics - in the National Historic Landmark District, which includes the famous Jekyll Island Club, a haunt of the rich and famous.
Children will enjoy the sense of freedom afforded by the bike paths that lace the island, the magnolia and live oak lined nature trails and the boardwalks that transport them over the protective dunes to natural beach areas. The highlight of any trip is a night time Turtle Walk to view the nesting sea turtles who come ashore every summer to lay their eggs.
If you’re looking for a active, yet relaxing family beach vacation, be sure to check out Jekyll Island - a destination everyone will enjoy.
