Although the big sand dunes of the southern beaches and the facilities of the middle beaches get the traffic, Driftwood Beach at the northern tip of Jekyll Island is unique. It is a good drive and walk to get onto the beach.

This is truly a 'do not miss'......it is indescribable.....just know that you have to see it to believe it!!
The woods and trees make this the most beautiful part of the island. Lots of shells on that side and it is cooler. If you go right itme of the year you will see black crabs on trees.
This is a place of fantastical shapes and patterns. If you like that sort of thing and it is absolutely at its best at low tide. Since it doesn't have to involve the whole day, it can fit into most schedules making it a very doable change of pace. I think it is well worth the trip, and is especially...

I really enjoy this beach. We went 3 times and it had a different look and feel each and every time. Love the driftwood and the colors in the sand from the waters. It's pretty stunning, actually.
This is really a fun beach to explore! There are lots of shells and it is very scenic. Watch out for the slippery black mud, my mom fell and hurt her knee on it. I slipped and almost fell twice trying to get out of it. So other than that, great beach!
Don't miss this part of Jekyll Island. You will find an easy access shortly after Villas by the sea, where the will be no more than 100 meters to the beach, you will find plenty of photo possibilities.
Short distance from most hotels and a clean beach with huge pieces of driftwood to be photographed from every angle.
Spent the morning at Driftwood Beach. It was our first trip there and we loved it! So unique and beautiful. Not only was the driftwood lovely but we were delighted with all the conch shells, crabs, horseshoe crabs and other wildlife. Wonderful for a long relaxing stroll!
We have been to Jekyll Island a number of times and always remember the walks along the beach as the highlight of our trips. The cleanliness of the beach and the added interest of the driftwood enhances the experience.
