Jekyll Island is located a short distance off of the southern coast of Georgia in Glynn county. And is just a short distance from Saint Simons, another popular coastal city. And can be accessed by bridge. We know the coastal barrier island has been occupied by Eurpoeans since around 1510. And probably much longer by local Native American tribes. Jekyll Island itself is roughly 5,700 acres filled with beautiful hiking trails, dunes, driftwood beaches and elegant estates. With many being turned into wedding venues offering pop up wedding packages at an affordable rate for those eloping. A couple options include the Jekyll Club and the beach view club.
