It’s kid friendly and laid-back, with 10 miles of mostly uncrowded beach fronting the Atlantic. A great venue if you’re looking for a vacation on a budget.

For kids, they have Summer Waves Water Park (with stations suitable for a 5 and 1 year old, with adult supervision); the Georgia Sea Turtle Center; mini-golf; 20 miles of bike trail (and places to rent tow-trailers for the kids, helmets, or kid bike seats).

Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island’s north shore is a great place for kids to explore among the driftwood trees.

For something straight out of the movies, try the Jekyll Island Historic District. Lots of refurbished historic buildings, including the Jekyll Island Club Hotel and the Crane Cottage. It also has some good restaurants and shops for adults and kids alike. They’ve actually filmed movies at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel and elsewhere on the island ("The Legend of Bagger Vance"; "Glory"; and the movie "Jekyll Island", which was a heist film).

They just opened a new Hampton Inn on the island, or stay at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel. And since by law only 35 percent of the island can be developed, you see plenty of wildlife, from deer to raccoons to squirrels to what my son used to call "Mars" rabbits (marsh rabbits).

Hope you have a great vacation wherever you decide to visit!
