A great place to relax, shell, or dip your feet in the tidal pools. From South Dunes Beach we made it to almost Glory Beach. During our walks southward to Glory Beach on the three days while on Jekyll Island, we noticed at least 60-70 turtles nests as well as conservation volunteers, patrolling, tracking, documenting and monitoring the nests. We even had the privilege of seeing the little hatchlings getting released..

I will say this spot is beautiful if you're able bodied. This isn't very handicap accessible if…read moreyou're trying to go to the beach through this access point. It's got a lot of stairs and the stars to the beach are completely covered in sand which made it very dangerous to get down. There are public restrooms, grills, and picnic tables. There are a lot of alligators because outdoors fee them right next to the sign that clearly says not to. This angered me because it's a hazard to the animals and the people who come here and there is NO DNR, ranger or police information anywhere to report this behavior. I even confronted the idiots and told them how stupid they were. Total low life losers. Keep your kids clear away from the water because they come straight to any person they see.

Great little spot! If you can find parking this is definitely a great place to spend the day at…read morethe beach! My family and I packed up all our beach gear and spent several hours here. Near the sandbar the water gets deep fast so if you have littles or inexperienced swimmers walk further down to set up. We went during low tide and we were able to pretty much walk all the way out to the middle of the ocean with the water at our knees in most parts. The wind was a little gusty the day we went so bring something to hold down the beach towels so they don't fly away while you're frolicking in the water! Lol! It was less crowded than the area we went the day before too! Such a fun place to enjoy the ocean and soak in the sunshine!!

It should be no surprise that this beach is located at the corner of 15th Street and the Atlantic…read moreOcean hence the name, it's at the end of a residential area on Saint Simon Island so the parking is somewhat limited. Honestly I've seen better beaches on the shores of a freshwater lake, but it is a beach so how bad can it be right? Well I absolutely love the ocean but a prerequisite of loving a beach for me is a short list, but these things that are important to me. If I stand in the ocean where the water barely reaches my ankle bone I want to be able to count my toes. As much as I love oysters, I'm not a fan of a beach that looks like an oyster bed on steroids. If the sand on the beach is the color of dirt because the dirt / sand ratio can be measured I don't want my toes in the water or my ass in the sand. Oh I don't mean to be so harsh, this is a beach I highly recommend for those of you visiting Florida, it's a great beach and I hope you enjoy your time here wink wink...

The employees and camp hosts are friendly and helpful. There is lots of trails and wildlife to enjoy. Anytime we have had issues, they are promptly addressed and rectified. The only slight drawback is the paper mill stench. It can be quite awful at times. Oh! And the noseeum's. Bring bug spray! We regularly visit Savannah, Jacksonville, St Simons, Jekyll Island, Amelia Island and Okefenokee National Park while staying here. Brunswick has all the necessities you would need and is a nice town. Husband always visits the Pinball Palace! Highly recommend staying a while and really exploring the beauty of this area.

Transients like me and longer term stays are available in the campground. There's just something about being waterside that I find helpful for my mood and my productivity, I was here for about two hours for phone calls and emails, sitting in the van and listening to the quiet lapping of the shore. There are activities here including picnic shelters, a playground, a fishing pier and a boat launch with crane. I was able to watch them pull a boat in with the crane and load it onto a trailer. Very cool and clever. [Review 19929 overall - 616 in Georgia - 902 of 2023.]

The beach has a large parking lot that even includes EV charging stations as well as a building with restrooms, bike racks, and picnic shelters with grills. The park is well built up and ready to host lots of people. Paved parking, handicapped ramps, trash cans and even showers to get the sand off your kids before you load them back up into the car. It is located on the east side of the island and as it says in the name, it has a view of the ocean. There are no barrier islands beyond here - it's direct exposure to the Atlantic and it's beautiful. Expect strong winds and be aware of riptides. Access to the island isn't free - you need to pay an $8 "parking fee" at the bridge. [Review 19341 overall - 579 in Georgia - 311 of 2023.]

Corsair Beach Park is farrrrr better than the beach on SSI, but among Jekyll Island beach parks,…read moreit's just not the best of the best. Corsair is basically the first beach you can get to when entering the island. Just off the bridge, you're fed into the roundabout. To your right is The Westin, to your left is Beach Village, and the Jekyll Island Convention Center. Straight ahead is Corsair Beach Park! But parking is to the left, behind Beach Village. This is a very obvious park, one where most day trippers and Westin guests like to hang. The beach is huge, a long, flat sandy surface, which provides ample room for setting up camp to just lie in sun or play beach games. If that's what you're after, this is the best option. If you want to hike the beach, I advise Driftwood Beach at the northern tip, or Glory Beach at the southern point of the island. Both are amazing walks around the top/bottom of the island, and the sights and wildlife are breathtaking. Corsair allows leashed dogs, and bikes, but dogs and bikes are not allowed on the JI eastern shore any farther south than Corsair, due to sea turtle nesting. This beach park has beach showers, and food/shopping is very close by in the Beach Village shops.

Why the great review?…read more Besides being off the beaten path (south along the beach road to the Soccer Field Signs), it's the most accessible. Parking was a breeze. A small lot right by the boardwalk. And not that many people parked there when we went. The boardwalk itself has no steps. It's wide (you could easily take a wheelchair or a stroller here) and it is fairly level. Most other beaches on island require a painful trek up some wooden steps, then a long hot walk over a wooden boardwalk over the dunes, and then a steep stairway down to the beach. And another long walk to the water. We were ecstatic when we saw this. Only later did we read that the reason the walkway is so wide and smooth was that it was a shooting location for the film, Glory (1989). The walkway was built so that all the movie crew equipment could be easily transported. We easily made the walk over the dunes and pools to the beach. Kicking off our shoes (we weren't in beach attire), we strolled to the water's edge and up and down the beach collecting a few shells and enjoying the cool water. So, even though there are no facilities here, this was our favorite beach of all that we visited while we were here.

This place is about a mile South past the Hampton Inn, and you turn left into the complex. Look for the Jekyll Island soccer complex sign. When you turn in, there will be a soccer field on the left and right side of the road. At the end of the road is the boardwalk, and a small parking area. According to what I read, the producers of the movie built the boardwalk to transport equipment out to the beach, where the final scene (attack of Fort Wagner) was filmed. Very calm and peaceful place. No facilities that I noticed.
