Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island, located in Glynn County, Georgia, is one of the Sea Islands and part of the Golden Isles barrier chain. Owned by the State of Georgia and managed by a self-sustaining body, the island offers a unique blend of history and nature. It gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a retreat for American financial leaders, including those involved in drafting the Federal Reserve Act.

Recognized by Architectural Digest as one of America's most beautiful small towns, Jekyll Island provides a serene escape with active attractions like Summer Waves water park.
