TASTY and elegant, but not stuffy, but definitely a dress up event. Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Tramici is their sister restaurant and very good too. They share a courtyard. Reservations recommended.

The tuna "taco" appetizer can't be beat and their fries are hands down the best on the island!
FYI you'll prob have more success with parking on Beach than on Mallery... and the library parking lot is open for parking in most spots too!

A great breakfast spot. Outside with umbrellas is a fun way to spend some time lingering.... the food is average breakfast faire.

Sightseeing
A sneaky access point to the beach. Best to go during off season (Oct to May) as parking can be tight. There's a hose rinse off platform for your feet and equipment. A great place to launch kayaks and paddleboards to avoid the waves. You can paddle from here all the way to Sea Island!
A 10-15 minute walk from here to East Beach.
At low tide, you can walk out on a long peninsula into the ocean. Cool place to watch moonrise over ocean and sun set over island. Very quiet when compared to other beaches. Our favorite place to go.
Go to East Beach roundabout and take last exit. Drive all the way down along salt marsh to 15th St. Take a right and follow it to the parking area.

Jekyll Island is an outstanding adventure, but The Club is 100% incredible! Read up on its history. You can access the main building and walk the halls reading about the important events that happened there like the establishment of the Federal Reserve and the first trans-Atlantic phone call!
The grounds are best accessed via bikes in our opinion, and the island has 22 miles of scenic and safe bike paths!
If you're on island for lunch, our favorite is grabbing friend shrimp from the Love Shack at the back of the Jekyll Island Market!

Shopping!
We have several pieces from this lovely, family owned company in our home - both stock and special ordered. We love color!! The staff is a hoot and the space is eclectic and fun. A very unique place to find a souvenir or a gift for a loved one.

The King & Prince beachfront resort
The grounds along the beach are lovely. We often go park on site and walk down, sit in the swings and watch the waves, then wander in for a cocktail. The pool isn't open to non-guests, but you can sneak into the bathrooms off the lobby if you need to!

Art & Antique shows near The Pier
On weekends you may see signs for outdoor events near The Pier. It's a nice wander around under the live oak trees, and we have some amazing local artists!
