Jekyll Island

We needed to stop somewhere on the way back from Disney, so we ended up deciding on Jekyll Island.  None of us had ever heard of it before.  It was in Southern Georgia in a group of islands called the Golden Isles.  It was pretty quiet there.  Our hotel was kind of a dump, but it was right on the beach and it was cheap and good enough.  It was a nice little stop for 2 nights.  










A few miles from our hotel was Driftwood Beach.  It was pretty lovely.  Lots of driftwood.






The view of the sea from our hotel.  Even though the room was a little shabby, the outside areas and proximity to the beach were nice.  And the breakfast was pretty good too.


The water was very warm.  The difference between low and high tide there was big.  The beach was very flat and waves were not very big.  The weather was also very good.  It was close to 100 but with a sea breeze it felt just perfect. And there was no rain while we were there. 



We mostly had the beach to ourselves.
