Jekyll Island for labor day
We are heading out there tomorrow and staying at the Jekyll island campground for the long week end. I have read there are some light houses and such around. Any suggestions on the best places to see ...

The lighthouse is in the village on St. Simons Island, which is only a few minutes away from Jekyll. We love walking around the village, pier and lighthouse and think the best restaurants are on St Simons. If you enjoy history, I recommend visiting Fort Frederica on St. Simons...the huge live oaks draped in spanish moss are majestic. If you stop at the visitor's center on the way to the island, they'll give you a map so you can see what all is there. On Jekyll, one of our favorite things to do is walk or bicycle through the Historic District....so beautiful and full of interesting history. Also enjoy going to Clam Creek, Pier and Driftwood Beach, which is right across from the campground. We almost always see horses on the beach. If you have bikes, take them...Jekyll Island is excellent for riding bikes. Jennifer
Excellent advice. Jekyll is an outstanding autumn destination. Do bookmark a hurricane track site as this is prime hurricane season. Enjoy your trip.
