Pay your $10 per car fee to get onto Jekyll Island, qnd drive 4 miles north. Enjoy the 1950's - to modern home styles, as the drive is a beautiful one. There is street parking, but only on the left side of the street and only about 14 parking spots. The walk to the beach is easy to moderate while walking thru soft sand, until the beach, where ancient trees lay on their sides, and roots make for a gorgeous view. The day we were here, the beach was littered with the bodies of cannon ball jellyfish, which are surprisingly solid, so watch your feet. Enjoy the temperate water of the Atlantic ocean and the bright South Ga Sun for a perfect afternoon.

It has some facilities and there are picnic tables, but this is also the kind of island that has a lot of mosquitos so I would be heading towards the beach. This area has some inland water that is apparently permanent enough that they've put pontoon bridges over it, which is kind of cool. The beach here is a little bit wider than on other nearby areas, so the tide is not forcing you to literally sit on a dune and you can walk around the surf fishers. So it is a decent ocean beach, if still on the crowded side.

A Major Let-Down Tourist Trap. Avoid unless you like being…read moretaken advantage of After seeing many reviews describing this town as one of Florida's best small, charming towns, Sorry to say how this town is a major let down. The charm and overall scene is decent enough, no argument. What is so unfortunate is the town government apparently recently (2026) made all public parking a pay scheme generator. Sad. A total sell-out and a clear signal that they don't value and want to attract tourists- they see tourists as suckers to inflate their town bottom line It's not nice enough to justify that. IMO few things are unless you are a world class tourist site or located within a major population center. Instead, do the nearby Amelia Island Plantation. Stunning! We do value the nearby Amelia Island Plantation area and the outstanding resorts of the Omni or Ritz Carlton.

So many restaurants and shops to choose from it is hard to pick a favorite. You must check out the Lemon Bar, which is an outdoor venue with a beach view. The Lemon Bar offers live music, drinks and food. Next is Pete's, the oldest bar in the area. It's divey vibe is a must for locals. If you like to play pool, this is your spot. Next is Island Girl, offering many types/flavors of cigars and draft beer. Sliders Oyster Bar is another local favorite offering food and drinks. Across the street and on the beach is the Seahorse Inn. This is the best spot to stay at the beach on a budget and is in the center of all the fun. The only downside is parking. There are two pay lots and street parking, which use to be free but now you pay at the machine. Be careful not to park in lots with towing signs (if you see not visiting the specified businesses).

There is something here for everyone and for people of all abilities. Most of the main part of the island is flat, including from the dock and up to the ruins (it's about 0.4 to half a mile from the dock to the ruins--and there are beach wheelchairs). There's also a main road that traverses the island from one end to the other for about 18 miles that can be traveled by bicycle. There's also an inn and multiple historical structures you can visit. You can also visit a beautiful, mostly empty beach! I got off at the first stop, which is the most challenging stop, meaning I had to climb over sand dunes to get to the beach. It was QUITE the workout and exhausting (I felt it for days after). Someone told me that the second ferry stop is a much easier, more direct path to the beach. This was a wonderful, serene location. I saw several groups of horses along my hike. The greenery is beautiful. I wouldn't mind coming back and setting up camp (permit required) so I can travel the whole island on bike and by foot. Spending more time on the tranquil beach. I wouldn't spend time at the end, as it's 900-1000 dollars or more per night with a two night minimum. If you're looking to visit the island during the day, the RiverView Hotel is RIGHT THERE, essentially directly across from the ferry, and costs about 200 a night for great vintage rooms with comfy beds. Please see my reviews of the ferry and Molly's tours to build a whole itinerary. You'll never see anything else like this, anywhere else in the world probably. It's a fairly cost effective trip, with the ferry costing just over 40 bucks round trip, the inn costing about 200 a night, and the island entry fee being just a few bucks.

They also charge a toll to get into the beach community with state residents paying I believe six dollars or so and out of state residents paying closer to 10. However, it's definitely worth it as there is plenty of parking along the entire island beach strip, including a really great fishing pier at the end of the island that also has a bait and tackle shop located within the park. We found the beach to be clean, the facilities to be well kept, and more importantly, not overly crowded. The beach here is well traveled, however so this is not soft, supple sand, but much more hard packed, which allows for running, bike riding and recreational activities in general. There were several families fishing in the same vicinity of other families playing in the water which could present a bit of concern with regard to potential hooks and fishing tackle in the surf, but it didn't seem to bother anybody. This is definitely going to be our go to beach for the foreseeable near future.
