If you’ve never been to Jekyll Island, you need to put it
on your list. Beautiful beaches, wildlife, unique flora,
and a great deal of history can be found throughout the
island. The Jekyll Island Club was founded in 1886 and
was a vacation spot for the Rockefellers and
Vanderbilts. It is now a luxury resort hotel, and has
been beautifully restored. This is text put into the Notes

The old oak trees on the Island are a sight to see, with
Spanish Moss hanging down, often creating a thick
canopy. Many of the tree trunks are covered with the
beautiful Resurrection Fern. These trees are considered
to be “live” oak because they are evergreen; remaining
green throughout the winter rather than going dormant
and leafless. The Southern Live Oak is the state tree of
Georgia. This is text put into the Notes field on slide

A special attraction on Jekyll Island is Driftwood Beach,
sometimes referred to as the Elephant Graveyard
because of the unique formations of the large
driftwood pieces scattered along the beach. The trees
died over the past 200 years, primarily from beach
erosion. There aren’t any real elephant remains there,
but the driftwood formations are worth the trip. This is

The shrimp on Jekyll are super fresh and locally caught.
Add in potatoes, sausage, corn-on-the-cob, peppers,
onions and seasonings; and you’ve got the famous Low
Country Boil. Consider eating on the dock at the Rah
Bar at the Historic Wharf near the Jekyll Island Club.
