Many days are perfect flying conditions for kites on Jekyll's beaches. Kites can be launched right from your hands, but if you prefer a stretch of sand there is plenty of that around.
You can view the Sidney Lanier Bridge from many places along the west side of Jekyll Island. Jekyll Sandpiper renters will likely cross the bridge if they are headed into Brunswick or over to St. Simon's Island. The video is of the bridge as you drive south from Brunswick to the Jekyll Island Causeway.
Watch these Sandpipers feeding at the shore near Jekyll Sandpiper cottage. We've taken to calling our beach Sandpiper Beach because we see them there often.
