Has anyone ever gone to Jekyll Island in Georgia? I was thinking to going there next week for a few days. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

I love Jekyll Island. It's not very commercial and has a lot of pre-Revolutionary War History, and the historical houses of the "Millionaires' Club" - the millionaires who used the island for their summer houses. The campground - I haven't stayed there but I've driven by it - is at one end of the island I'm not sure that the campground, although near the ocean, is actually in walking distance of the beach itself, but it's not much of a drive if that's the case. There's a couple of shops and a few places to eat -- no chain stores or restaurants -- but if you want those, Brunswick is just a short drive over the causeway. We have friends who go there quite often, and my daughter has stayed there in her pop-up camper. I've been there 3 or 4 times, but I've always stayed in a hotel. Oh yes -- and the seafood is good there. Have fun!

Terry,
Definitely go to Jekyll Island. It is a great area. One caveat, be prepared for the skeeters! Those buggers are huge there and can be quite pesky when the weather is conducive to their breeding. ------------- |
