St. Andrews Beach, located at the southern end of Jekyll Island, offers a serene and peaceful getaway. It is known for its white sands and driftwood, making it a picturesque spot for relaxation. The beach is not crowded, providing an ideal setting for picnics, fishing, and wildlife viewing. It is the only west-facing beach on the island, offering breathtaking sunset views. Visitors can enjoy activities like swimming, kayaking, and birdwatching, with species such as dolphins and shorebirds frequently spotted.
The beach is part of Jekyll Island State Park and is near Jekyll Point, the southernmost tip of the island. The Jekyll River flows through this area, eventually emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.
St. Andrews Beach is also historically significant, featuring the Wanderer Memory Trail, which commemorates the last known slave ship to arrive in the United States.
