Welcome to Geocaching on Jekyll Island

Monday, July 21st, 2008

geocache_logo.gifGeocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. Jekyll Island has placed several caches on the island in addition to some the public has placed. GPS users can then use location coordinates to find the caches. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.

If you haven’t ever geocached before, you can try it before buying your own GPS unit. You can rent one at the Jekyll Island Welcome Center! For only $20/day, rent a GPS unit and try your luck at finding some of the caches we’ve placed. The waypoints are already downloaded into the units for you! We even made a video that will show you the basics.

[SPOILER] Found this cache late in the evening after playing on the beach and exploring Jekyll Island all day. We decided to grab a bite to eat and enjoy our dinner out on the deck in front of the ocean. Thanks for bringing us to a neat place with great seafood. Left a TB and traded small toys. Thanks for the cache.

Would have never explored this place if had not been on a cache run with the family. Cemetery across the road was neat. We read all the headstones very sad the 2 guys from different Germany and England drowned there in 1912. The house and cemetery was the subject of conversation for most of the morning. Thanks for placing the cache.
