Things to do:

Summer Waves WaterPark on Jekyll Island

Want to take a break from the heat? Visit Summer Waves Waterpark! Ride one of the slides, float down the lazy river, lay out to get a nice tan, or hit the wave pool. Don't forget to look at your surroundings at the top of the water-slides... there's beautiful views!

Driftwood Beach

Resembling a tree graveyard, experience the mysterious ways of nature. For those of you that don't know, driftwood has a strong current and visitors should not swim here.

Georgia Sea Turtle Center

Grab a sheet from the front desk and start your journey as a sea turtle yourself. Will you live in the end? Watch a patient feeding, live surgery, and learn more about these amazing creatures.

Watch a Movie on the green (Jekyll Island)

Located in Beach Village, check out their website for days and times. The movies change every week.

Saint Simons Lighthouse

I hope you're not scared of heights! Walk 129 steps to experience wonderful views. The Saint Simons lighthouse is one of only five surviving light towers in Georgia.

Saint Simons Pier Village

Ahh yes, my personal favorite... The Saint Simons pier village. Look around at the shops, grab a bite to eat, people watch, or go fishing. There's always some form of entertainment going on here.

Where to eat?

Georgia Sea Grill and Wine Bar

Although starting off small, Georgia Sea Grill quickly gained a good reputation in the seafood industry. Join executive chef, Jeff Lewis, and the other welcoming staff in this dining experience. Don't forget to try the crab hushpuppies that were featured on the Cooking Channel's, Beach Bites, with Katie Lee!

Sandcastle Cafe & Grill

Located on Mallery Street, eat with the locals for breakfast and lunch. The line is normally long for the popular breakfast buffet, but don't be overwhelmed because it moves fast. However, the food is worth the wait!

Southern Soul Barbeque

The best barbeque around and a local favorite! What else is there to say?

Ocean Lodge Rooftop

Dinner with a view? Coastal cuisine with a Southern twist served amid sea views on the rooftop of the Ocean Lodge.

Iguanas Seafood

This is more of a laid back seafood restaurant. Try their locally caught shrimp and have it prepared for you to order fried, blackened, or broiled. Don't forget your free soft serve ice cream!
