***** January 19, 2014  Jekyll Island Campground (site G24, pull through $38) (site E19, back in $35). We booked too late and couldn’t get two nights in the same spot. We had to move, but it wasn’t a big deal.  Both sites were nice E19 a little nicer than G24.  The campground is nice and in a great location on the Island. We never took Half Pint out, we biked or walked(at night) everywhere.  There is a wide paved (maybe 2% dirt)  bike path that circles the whole island. There are a couple of cut through’s if you don’t want to double back.  We biked the entire path one day, my guesstamate 20 miles, Flat, Flat, Flat the couple of times that I had to put real effort into pedaling I was surprised.

I’m in love.  I would buy a house here in a heartbeat.   The scenery is breathtaking. The island is so serene and totally unique.  One of the negative feedbacks I read was not enough restaurants.  I don’t think we saw any. We biked beaches, boardwalk, crooked tree forests and the Historic District.  I could have spent two hours in the Jekyll Island Book Store. It’s in a historic house.  There is a sign on the door that asks you to gently open and close the 100 year old door.  There are 12 -15 rooms each with a different theme.

We spent our lunchtime sitting on a bench at the marina watching a dolphin find his lunch.  In the Historic section there was a Huge Inn (Old Estate) and people were laying croquet on the lawn. They were all dressed in period clothing. Very neat!

I can go on and on about the very, very nice things I liked about Jekyll Island.  Oh! great fishing pier!
