Jekyll Island isn’t your typical resort island. It was once a private retreat for our country’s wealthiest families before it was bought by the state of Georgia.
It’s also notable for what you won’t find: traffic lights, high rises and huge rental homes. The island can only ever be one-third developed.
In addition to its beautiful beaches, visitors come to stay at the iconic Jekyll Island Club Resort, which started as the clubhouse for families like the Vanderbilts, Morgans and Pulitzers. And now there’s the new beachside property, Jekyll Ocean Club. As a guest at either, you can enjoy both.
