Top Beaches on Jekyll Island, Georgia
Located along the Georgian shoreline, Driftwood Beach is a large white-sand beach with lots of driftwood in Jekyll Island. This beach is situated between a public picnic area named Clam Creek Picnic Area and a hotel named the Villas By The Sea Resort and Conference Center. This exquisite and popular beach was earlier a coastal maritime forest - decades of erosion has resulted in the forest’s tree trunks getting uprooted and being deposited on the beach as driftwood. A creek also flows through the beach into the Atlantic Ocean. This beach has been named the 28th Best Beach in the Top 50 Beaches in the United States list in 2022 by Randall Kaplan, the world’s foremost beach expert who is known as "Mr. Beach" – and was named as the 11th best beach in the United States by TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice awards in 2021.
