Jekyll Island Vacation Activities
There are lots of Jekyll Island Vacation activities. There is of course golf. Jekyll Island has three world class golf courses and people come from all over the country to try their skills on the Jekyll Island Links. Weather conditions are favorable pretty much year round. There is plenty of lodging avaialble on the island within walking distance of all the golf courses. Many hotels on the island offer golf vacation packages that include room, food, and greens fees.
Some other great jekyll Island Vacation Activities are the sea turtles. There is the brand new Sea Turtle center that opened just a couple years ago. Inside you can find a series of exhibits that will teach you about the lives and hardships of sea turtles. Several times a day there is a presentation on sea turtles given by one of the resident experts employed at the museum. You can then go next door to te sea turtle hospital. While these turtles are sick or injured, it is very sad, but it is also a good chance to see a loggerhead sea turtle up close. Finally, the proceeds from all items in the gift shop go to the benefit of sea turtles which are in increasing danger from human encroachment on their matingg areas. This are all great activities for kids too.
Another great Jekyll Island Vacation Activities are a trip to another island entirely, St. Simons island. It is a quick trip down the road to some of the other golden Isles such as St. Simons or Sea Island. There are even more activities on these islandds, including more food, more shopping. It’s very much worth the trip.
Of course Jekyll Island has all the traditional Vacation Activities such as the beach and seafood. There is miles and miles of beautiful beach to enjoy. Be sure to get a tide chart because the most fun can be had at high tide. The seafood, which I have gone on at length about on this sit, is amazing. Check out the Rah Bar accross from another great Jekyll Island Vacation activities, the historic district. Take a guided tour or just wander around the beautiful homes yourself, its very exciting to see how all those millionaires lived back in the day.
