Jekyll Island, Georgia

Day 73, 74

April 21, 2016

Jekyll Island is my favorite Island.   This is not a hub bub island.  There is No Traffic.  No Nightlife.  Once you park your car you can ride a bicycle, walk, kayak or boat almost anywhere you want to go.  There is a fabulous bike trail that circles the entire island.    I am not a golfer, but I understand there are three ***** courses on the island.

This is the road to the Fishing Pier and Driftwood Beach.  There are three beaches on the island, Driftwood, Glory and Great Dunes. Dogs are not welcome on Glory.   It is more of a natural habitat.  The only way to it is over a long boardwalk.   Driftwood is my favorite and because we are only here for one day, that’s where we go.  Great Dunes is your typical sand, surf, dunes beach.  The amazing thing about Jekyll Island is that a large percentage of it is undeveloped.  It’s Mother Nature at her best.

The sand is so firm that you can bike on the beach during low tide.

They have extended the Fishing Pier since the last time we were here.

Yesterday we were kayaking with manatee,  today  E T is trying to swim with dolphin.   She is ready to swim, but still a little hesitant.  We all enjoyed watching them.

Photo of the Day!  This is a Shrimp Boat.  You can actually book a charter on one.  I thought that would be fun …. depending on how much work was involved.   Next Time!
