Glynn County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)

Jekyll Island has always been designated for the super rich from the beginning of the founding of the United States.  When General James Oglethorpe settled the colony of Georgia in 1733, he soon after claimed and named Jekyll Island in honor of his friend and financier, Sir Joseph Jekyll from England. The island had been previously known as "Ospo", meaning island of the whales, coined by the native Americans who recreated on the island for fishing and hunting. #jekyllisland. The structure has withstood the test of time because of its construction using lime stone and crushed seashells.  there’s now a fantastic museum commemorating its history in the history of the state of Georgia. #travel #wanderlust #travelling #traveller #travelphotography #instatravel #adventure #journey #travelgram #travellifestyle #myjourney #wonderlust #trip #ilovetravel #traveling #traveladdicted #traveljournal #igtravel #traveladdict #travelpics #bestvacations #travelphotos #traveler #tourist #travelblog #tourism #hiking #2023travelwish

#tripaway A nice quite island on the Georgia coast. We went in the winter, and burr it was cold. We didn’t do much swimming in the ocean. There are some dead trees that are fun to climb around on. I would come here for a relaxing time of fun and enjoyable time! Come on over to a great beach! #tripaway

Scenic and Peaceful Slice of Georgia

1. St. Simon’s Island Address - Glynn County, Georgia Highlights - With Beautiful Beaches, a Historic lighthouse, Ancient Trees, and marshes immortalized by poet Sidney Lanier, the island is a great place to relax and unwind. If you are up for it, you can rent a bike for a few hours and ride down the paths along the coastline, stopping along the way to rest in the shade of the moss covered oaks that characterize much of the island. There is a public waterpark and many playgrounds directly above the beaches where children can play. As for local shops, my favorite was Savannah Bee Company, which has a honey tasting bar and a huge variety of products featuring honey, from authentic mead to skins care products and even medicinal products. #gooutside #beachlife #honeymoon #lighthouse Rating - 5/5 ##

Beautiful Beach Day

absolutely love St. Simons Island! a definite go too for a short beachy weekend! I absolutely love all the driftwood on one section of the beach! They little shopping districts are also very fun and have alot of little different stores amd restaurants all over! The water on the beach was actually pretty nice, warm and clear and was fun to walk across the beach. Tons of different wildlife all over this island to see for sure as well! Its a small little town like city that has alot of charm and historic memories. I enjoyed walking all over this Island because each part was all so different. There are a few normal fast food restaurants but there are alot more one of a kind restaurants as well! Its definitely worth it too go see this beautiful island!!#staycation #beachlife

#tripaway Golden Isles is beautiful place! The photos are taken of a large bridge that leads out to Golden Isles. It is a fairly quite beach, so a good place to go during the Corona time. There is beautiful blue waters, with a fun sandy beach to spend the weakened on. Eat at the Crab Shack for a good dinner! #tripaway
