Jekyll Island Getaway!

Jekyll Island sits on the sea's hem alongside the southern corner of the Georgia coastline.

We discovered this island gem several

years ago, and love visiting in the fall

or winter because it's off season,

the room rates go down, and you practically

have the whole island to yourself. 

It was chilly, but we loved our stay,

and truly enjoyed touring around, 

and walking the beaches.  We brought home

several wonderful sand dollars for

our granddaughter, too! 

Enjoy your visit to this enchanting place!

  

Beach erosion continues to cause craggy

oaks to fall along the shore at the northern

tip of the island.  Over time, they have become transformed by the sun, salty sea, sand and breezes, and create the stunning, almost eerie beauty known as Driftwood Beach. 

   

The lovely St. Simon's Island is seen in the background.  We love it, too!

Jekyll Island was once the playground to wealthy northeast bankers, and this cottage is one of many that were originally owned by families such as J.P Morgan, the Rockefellers, and the Goodyears.  

The idea for the Federal Reserve System of banking regulation was conceived on the island under a cloak of secrecy, by these bankers at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.

There were lots of deer roaming the south end 
of the island just after sunset, but many of my photos were too dark!

For us, time stands still for just
a little while when we're on the island,
and that is always a good thing!!

Have a fabulous weekend!!
I'm going junkin!
WOOHOO!!

Hugs,
