Jekyll Island's Beaches

Seven phenomenal, dune-backed beaches stretch across 10 miles of romantically windswept Jekyll Island. Its small barrier island measures only 5,700 acres and lies roughly halfway between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida. It is home to a National Historic Landmark, a water park, and golf courses with stunning sandy beaches.

Driftwood Beach is a photographer's dream spot, while St. Andrew is a paradise for bird watchers. Glory Beach is one of the best beaches for solitude and breathtaking views.

Great Dunes Beach Park is particularly family-friendly, providing a clean, spacious space for kids to run around and enough sand to build a trillion-dollar castle. It's also close to playgrounds and a mini-golf course. It is also the island's most popular stranding point. Get here early if visiting on a warm weekend.

South Dunes Beach Park is home to a beautiful boardwalk across 20-foot dunes. Moreover, Corsair Beach Park has restrooms, picnic tents, and outdoor showers on the southern edge of lively Jekyll Beach Village. Oceanview Beach Park, located in the middle of the island, has beautiful ocean views.
