Each year we take a bike ride around the entire island. It’s a family tradition we call the “ultimate”

Bird/nature watching

I love that I can do absolutely NOTHING..:-) best place to relax at the ocean and read a good book. My favorite thing. Sleep late, eat late….no clocks at all.

Michele D’Andrea- Dicus

I love Geocaching, I love taking my dog on the beach and swimming with him in the ocean, I love summer wave, and the think I love the most of all is the Turtle hospital ..

Mary Elizabeth Burdette

wow, what we look forward to the most is the slow pace!! My favs are shrimp at the Rah Bar, visiting the shops in the village (love the IGA!), walking on the south beach, reading the day away in a beach chair, and the fifth is my husbands choice - fishing! We have been going to Jekyll for many years and I love the fact that we can pack the car at the last minute and always know what we are going to find when we get there! I do hope that will remain the same for the most part!

Creighton Dukes

I love the Dolphin Tours and then lunch at the Rah Bar! The Partyboat fishing at the wharf ain’t bad either!

Lynne Mulligan

Running on the beach, climbing amoung the trees at Driftwood Beach, eating at Latitude, exploring the shops, watching the dolphins

Becky Reese Rzepka

We have been going for many years and have our traditions that we must do each visit: Bike riding is our top favorite…all over the island!, Summer waves, Ice cream at the Sweet/Fudge shop near Jekyll Club, the Playground (and in the past few years, getting a pizza at Red Bug pizza while there) and minuture golf! There are so many things we LOVE to do there but those are our top five…well and of course the beach!! I can’t wait to go back in May!!!

Phil UpChurch

My wife and I love Driftwood Beach. So rare to find such a magnificent, unspoiled beach.

Robert Bradberry

We have been going to Jekyll since 1966 and still look forward to a return vacation. We love bike riding around the island, walking on south beach, eating lunch at the Jekyll Hotel (arriving by bike), walking through the marsh (including Driftwood Beach, and driving down to the ferry and going over to Cumberland Island.

Chris Moncus

My favorite thing to do on Jekyll Island is photography. But I guess you knew that.

Andrea Wade

Our family loves to just walk around the historic area; shop at all the shops; eat at the Crane (when its not booked to the hilt!); wandering through the historic areas and trying to discover neat little areas I haven’t seen before; and lastly, the peace and quiet and beauty of the area.

Lisa M. Furman

Having shrimp and dungeness crab at the Rah Bar, picnicing and spending the day at St. Andrews, the South Beach picnic area, fishing, the Tidelands 4H Center, checking out the marinas, love the reduce, reuse, recycle concept!! Looking forward to visiting the book store at the Infirmary, the Horton House, and The Sea Turtle Center. This is now my family’s FAVORITE place to go!!!!

Jason Baine Thompson

Rah Bar and crusing around in the little electric cars. My 3 year old gets a kick out it. JBT

Donna Willerson Foster

horse back riding……..the carriage ride..at night with all the light.walking the beach..eating low country boil @ sea rays..
nice and peacefull relaxing ……

Jeannie Reeves

I have many favorites.. I try to take all my clients to the historical area to photograph their family portraits… It is just so beautiful there.. the green grasses, the flowers, the building and the pebble and shell walkways are awesome… The beaches are nice too.. Me and my husbands last date night we sat on the beach at Driftwood beach.. Awesome! My kids love Summer waves that is for sure.. I want to some day do some horse back riding on the beach.

Warren Low

Been to Jekyll Island twice now from England and we love it, its a beautiful place. We especially love going round the historial area and imagining how it must have been when all the cottages were lived in. Jekyll is a little bit of unspoilt paradise. Its amazing that more people dont know about it but maybe thats part of the appeal ….

Friday was the last Golf Cart Nature Tour on Jekyll Island’s golf courses for the summer. It has been so much fun to ride in a golf cart to look at the beauty of nature. Here is a picture of the group looking at the Amphitheater pond. I hope we can schedule some more of these tours. (Golf Cart Nature Tours will be offered June through September at 5:30 p.m. (time is subject to change). The cost is $15/person and private tours are available. Keep this in mind for your Spring trip to Jekyll Island!
