Birds, Beaches, and Bike Trails - Cycling on Jekyll Island
Cycling in the Oaks Whether riding beneath the Spanish Moss-draped oaks, peddling alongside the sandy beach, or pulling up to Horton Pond to try to catch a glimpse of an alligator, you'll find plenty of natural beauty as you tour the island. Cycling is a great way to see the island's sights while you get some exercise.
Kayak Jekyll's Waters
The salt water marshes that surround Jekyll Island provide good kayaking conditions. With opportunities to see birds and perhaps a dolphin or even a manatee. Several organizations on the island provide tours that include all your equipment and a guide that knows the area. On most days the waters are calm making it good conditions for both beginners and experienced kayak enthusiasts. Jekyll Sandpiper renters have two choices on the island: Tidelands Nature Center and Turtle Tides as tour options.
Cycling - Golf - Summer Waves - Horseback : A Few of Jekyll's Activities
Jekyll Sandpiper renters will love the multiple avenues available for exploring the island. Snag a bike from the garage and ride our miles of trails. Take a horseback ride on the beach or pick from one of four golf courses for your enjoyment. In the summer months, kids can cool off at Summer Waves, the island's water park.
Mini Golf and Playground - Across from Jekyll Beaches
Jekyll's Miniature Golf complex offers two 18-hole options, with one course being a bit more difficult than the other. Both courses are decorated with island themes, such as Faith Chapel, a Georgia Bulldog, a Florida Gator and a St. Simon's Lighthouse. Jekyll Sandpiper guests will pass the complex as the drive to our cottage. Behind the golf is a public playground, with swings, a slide and mini-rock wall.
