By Mike May Question: Where in the U.S. can you find ten miles of marvelous oceanside beaches, kayak tours, bicycle rides, bird watching, tennis, paddle boarding, horseback riding, fishing, boating, canoeing, croquet, world-class accommodations, plus 63 holes of golf? Answer: Jekyll Island, on the Georgia coastline. “Jekyll Island is one of the best places in the U.S. where you can go to unwind and relax while enjoying golf, fresh seafood, long walks along the beach, poolside siestas, and time off the grid,” said Doug Hollandsworth, Founder, the Georgia Golf Trail. “For golfers, the 63-hole Jekyll Island Golf Club features four courses at one location which makes it one of the most popular getaways on the Georgia Golf Trail. For golfers, Jekyll Island is one of Georgia’s most popular stay-andplay destinations.” When it comes to the ‘stay’ part of your Jekyll Island adventure, there are three great overnight options -- The Westin Jekyll Island, the Hampton Inn & Suites Jekyll Island, and the historic Jekyll Island Club Resort. All three properties are the ultimate ‘rest & relaxation’ destination. The Westin Jekyll Island and the Hampton Inn & Suites Jekyll Island provide easy access to the beaches, wonderful poolside destinations, and tremendous views of the ocean, while the Jekyll Island Club Resort is one of the most historic structures on the island. The Jekyll Island Club Resort was built in the 1800’s to provide overnight accommodations for the rich and famous, such as: the Rockefeller’s, Morgan’s, Vanderbilt’s, and Pulitzer’s, all of whom frequently vacationed on Jekyll Island. The croquet courts located near the resort’s entrance are a popular outdoor recreation outlet, while The Wharf provides fresh, tasty, and delicious seafood selections, while overlooking the surrounding marshlands.
