[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t been there in about 10 years but I’ve been a few times, as well as to Sea Island and Jekyll Island. No, it’s not just golf and is a great family vacation area. I do think of Jekyll as being more of a family vacation spot akin to OBX. Great Dunes Beach Park on Jekyll is nice and there’s a water park, great bike trails and a sea turtle center. St. Simons is quaint and more of a town with nice shops and restaurants. It’s only about 1/2 hour drive from one island to the other so not a big deal which you choose, but I’d consider staying on Jekyll. [/quote] I posted above. Jekyll is where we stayed. We found the beaches were not good for traditional playing but the rest of the island was SO fun. We rented bikes, did hotel outdoor pool (big), did a day at the water park (busy, then closed for storms), went to the sea turtle rescue (small, but so good). Cute markets for shopping or unique groceries (felt like Luke’s Diner/Doose’s from Gilmore Girls), glimpsed a few beach weddings at a large hotel (cute), not a lot of restaurants, but we actually brought groceries from the mainland and an air fryer for the small hotel kitchen. Checked out beaches, but the water and sand were strange. Smelly. Cool to see protected turtle nests all around. You can pay extra to do a guided night tour (that keeps turtles safe). St Simon’s was a daylong stop on the way out of Jekyll, and it was the traditional beach day. We .. sort of preferred that. But Jekyll was worth getting to know. [/quote]
