    We couldn't believe this tiny island has an airport. The airport has a 3,700 foot runway so I would say the smaller the plain the better! This airport is only for private airplains and charter flights. When you come over the bridge and pay your toll, make a left on Riverview Drive and the airport is up on the left.

    Some small ships visit Jekyll Island - usually during either the autumn or the spring along the Intracoastal Waterway. AMERICAN EAGLE is one that I've seen tied up on the dock when we have been there. This is a nice looking small cruise ship that does short cruises on the ICW.

    Apparently they now run a dinner and/or gambling cruise from Jekyll on a boat called the EMERALD PRINCESS. Picture ID required.

    Saturday Evening Cruise... $20 per person
    All other cruises $10 per person

    No One Way Rentals Out of State

    I talked to Jan and Hank who are leaving their boat here for the winter and driving home. They want to drive because they are taking too much stuff off the boat to fly.

    Unfortunately, no local cars can be rented for a one way trip, nor can they be taken out of state.

    So they have to get a ride (I think they asked someone from the marina to take them rather than take a cab) to the Brunswick airport to rent a car. Then they have to go to Savannah to get a one way rental car that they can drive out of state. Next they have to drive two cars drive back to drop off the local car at the Brunswick airport before they can start out for home (they live in Columbia, MD). Finally when they get home, they can drop off the one-way rental.

    When they are coming back to the boat, the process will have to be reversed..

    Buy a week long/weekend parking pass

  • It is $3.00 every time you leave and reenter the causeway. It is more economical to buy a week long or weekend pass. You'll go off the island more than once (for dinner, a movie, shopping, what ever!) unless you are going to be secluded in your hotel/rental home...save your self money - and TIME - you won't have to stop at the pay booth if you have a pass!

    Ride in a Carriage or on a Horse

    One nice way to see the village is by horse-drawn carriage. The carriage tours also leave from the welcome center, and they give you an opportunity to see the village at the pace of the original inhabitants.

    We didn't do this as I thought it would be too expensive, plus we didn't have time. The third photo advertises Victoria's Carriage or Trail Rides. The narrated carriage tour lasts 40 minutes.

    Jekyll does have an airport for small planes. And apparently they rent these little electric cars at the airport
