While Jekyll Island offers something for everyone, it is a uniquely special place for family vacations.  Reconnect by disconnecting. Play in the waves, walk on the beach, fly a kite, ride bikes, play mini-golf, take a horse drawn carriage ride, enjoy an ice cream cone, swim at Summer Waves waterpark, enjoy boat rides and sea kayaking, spot dolphins in the ocean, learn about sea turtles at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center or comb the beach for sea shells. See our family's recommendations here.
