Have you ever heard of Jekyll Island?  If you haven’t you are missing out on a beautiful destination located along the Georgia coastline.  As a kid, we often took day trips to Jekyll Island, I have many fun memories from my time spent there.

With nine miles of beaches, a swimming pool, 63 holes of golf, 13 clay tennis courts, horseback riding and 20 mile bike paths – Jekyll Island has activities for everyone.  My personal favorite?  The mini golf!  Rated in the top 500 resorts in the world by Travel & Leisure – the Jekyll Island Club Hotel is a “do not miss“.

The history behind the Jekyll Island Club Hotel is fascinating!  Check out the inside scoop….

The Jekyll Island Club Hotel originally built in 1886 as a hunting retreat for America’s wealthy elite, including J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Joseph Pulitzer, the Vanderbilts, Goulds and Astors. Restored to its original splendor in 1986, now a National Historic Landmark and a member of Historic Hotels of America.
