Driftwood Beach Sunrise

Unseasonable crisp winter air greeted the early warming light casting dawn’s long shadows across the beach of driftwood sentinels guarding Jekyll Island.

Jykell Island, Georgia

 

Location Details

What has become know as Driftwood Beach is located on Jekyll Island off the southeast coast of Georgia. The 5,700 acres island is designated as a state park but receives no funding from the state and is run by a self-sustaining self-governing body. During the early 1900’s the island was a private hunting retreat. Today well preserved “cottages” on the island form its historic district. There is a campground on the island as well as numerous lodging and recreational options that include beach walking, swimming, biking, hiking, bird watching, golf and fishing. About 1,100 people currently reside on the island.
