Jekyll Island has endless natural beauty to offer guests. With over 10 miles of stunning beaches, you’re sure to get a glimpse of sand dollars, hermit crabs, and starfish. Please remember to admire these creatures on the beach, but do not take them home. Removing wildlife from it’s natural habitat destroys the fragile ecosystem of our coastlines.
Jekyll Island Club — Jekyll Island, GeorgiaIt may be the smallest of Georgia’s barrier islands, but what Jekyll Island lacks in size it more than makes up for in grandeur. Pulitzers, Astors, and Rockefellers docked their yachts here throughout the early 1900s, and while the Club’s guest roster today is decidedly more inclusive, a game of croquet and high tea on the 240-acre estate is still on the agenda. A comprehensive renovation of this National Historic Landmark’s 157 rooms in the 1980s preserved the signature turret while returning robber-baron elegance to the dining room’s impressive marble fireplaces (from $189/night; jekyllclub.com). Getting There: From Brunswick, Ga., cross a causeway to Jekyll Island.
