Sitting in the middle of the island and surrounded by Jekyll's golf course is the Jekyll Island Tennis Center. Open to Jekyll Residents and Jekyll Sandpiper visitors for a reasonable hourly fee.
Tennis Center The Jekyll Island Tennis Center is a public facility with 13 clay courts. Totally updated in early 2017, the courts are in great condition. They sit outdoors, surrounded by moss-covered oak trees. For visitors, court costs are $24 / hour. The facility also hosts clinics and private lessons.
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.
