Jekyll Island is located just off the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida. A six-mile causeway separates Jekyll from the mainland and the city of Brunswick. One of many barrier islands on Georgia's coast, Jekyll is neighbored to the north by St. Simons Island and to the south by Cumberland Island.
A great way to get around Jekyll Island is by bike, which are available for rent at several locations (see the interactive map), or by Red Bug, a cute little car available for rent at the airport. Call 635-9330 to make a reservation.
