Jekyll's entrance causeway is a great place to view the area's salt water marshes, with shore birds feeding on either side. During May and June keep an eye out for Diamondback Terrapins. Morning and evenings provide sightings of rabbits and mink.
Downing Musgrove Causeway The nine mile stretch of road connecting GA State Highway 17 to Jekyll Island is the Downing Musgrove Causeway, also known as the Jekyll Island Causeway. Two small ponds flank the first part on the causeway, each displaying a Jekyll Island sign.
Treasures Every January and February the Jekyll Island Authority hosts Island Treasures. They hide glass globes in public places all over the island. So my sister and I spent a day searching. What a great way for us and our Jekyll Sandpiper Vacation Renters to explore the island.
Our group of 10 met for a fun filled weekend of football and beach combing. All 5 couples had a great time in this great house. With private rooms for each of us (and one to spare) we never felt crowded. The HUGE television made football watching perfect for our large group.
