jekyll island

Jekyll island is GA's hidden jewel, an out of the way, tiny island, which you have to pay to get on, keeping the hordes of tourists out. The 7 mile island has fantastic beaches, one side with same dunes, the other an armagedon looking beach strewn with driftwood trees all over. Our beachcombing turned up conch shells, sand dollars, many types of crabs, and lots of sea creatures. We biked on the beach, flew our kites and explored the small island.
One morning we went to.check out what they were catching on the pier. Mostly they go for blue crab and whitings. We grabbed out poles, got shrimp bait and let the boys give it a try. So exciting!! While watching shrimp boats, big freighters, dolphins and whales, Finn pulled up his first whiting, then a 2" black tip SHARK then eli got a STING RAY!!
