Beaches in Jekyll Island, Georgia

Best beaches in Jekyll Island

1. Driftwood Beach

   North End

   A surreal “tree graveyard” where decades of erosion have left weathered, sun-bleached oaks and pines lying across the sand — one of the most photographed spots on the coast. It’s on Jekyll, so the island day-use parking fee applies; the small lot fills at sunrise with photographers.

   Great Dunes

   Jekyll’s main swimming beach beside the Great Dunes Park, with a beach village and bathhouse a short walk away — gentle, family-friendly sand. The island charges a daily parking fee at the gate that covers the lots here.
