Jekyl Island CG isn't adjacent to the shore, either. I seem to recall it was a fair distance to walk, but not too far by bike. Nice bike paths on the island.
It depends on which beach you want to get to and how far you are willing to walk. Directly across the street from the campground is the Clam Creek Picnic Area with a fishing Pier and small beach. This is about a 1.5 mile walk. This beach however is not the ocean, it's St. Simons Island Sound, where the Brunswick River meets the Atlantic. Driftwood Beach, at one time rated one of America's best is on the Atlantic and about a mile or so from Clam Creek.
There is public beach access to the Atlantic within a few miles of the campground that you can walk, bike or drive to.
