Site Description


Located in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the southern coast of Georgia, Jekyll Island was once an exclusive resort area for American millionaires in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The state of Georgia now owns the island and has opened it to everyone. Visitors come from around the world to enjoy the peaceful environment offering beautiful beaches, hiking, fishing (requires a license), golfing, tennis and wildlife viewing (65 percent of the island is a nature preserve). A tour of Millionaires’ Village is one of the highlight attractions. Some visitors also enjoy horseback riding on Jekyll Island or nearby St. Simons Island.

 

In addition to having services every day, we have planned a wide variety of activities for people of all ages. This year we plan to have a Family Beach Party and a Family Dance. Of course we’ll also have activities for teens, singles, and a luncheon for seniors. Perhaps you’ll want to play in our annual golf tournament or just relax in Jekyll Island’s peaceful tranquility. The location, services, and activities are sure to make this year's feast in Jekyll Island a truly memorable one.

As for planning what kinds of clothes to bring, temperatures on Jekyll Island in the fall range from 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 24 degrees Celsius), with the possibility of rain. Major airports for arrival and departure are Savannah, Georgia; Brunswick, Georgia; and Jacksonville, Florida. A rental car is advised and don't forget that there is a $3 toll per vehicle every time one enters the island. One week passes may also be purchased.
