Warnings Or Dangers: Parking Fee
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is a $3.00 parking fee for entrance to Jekyll Island which you will have to pay if you rent a car to get from the airport to the island. It is less than a half hour's drive from the Brunswick airport to the island.

    I thought it sounded as if this was a way to have income from a toll bridge.

    jackievillani wrote me and said

    "Jekyll Island is a state park (owned by the state of Georgia). The fee that you mentioned is charged at ALL Georgia state owned parks----even if they are just a day park. It is charged for the upkeep of the various state parks and to pay the personnel required to keep the parks clean....It is just a law in Georgia."

    In that case, I don't know why they call it a parking fee, or why you have to pay it if you rent a car on the island to go off the island. Why not just call it an entrance fee?

  • We were told that no photography was allowed inside of the Jekyll Island Club, so I opted not to take the tour. Instead I photographed some of the scenes from the FREE film that is shown in the visitor's center.

     The wreck on Jekyll isn't a sailboat its whats left of the mast on a shrimp boat. Looking closer you can see that its bent to the side suggesting the nets caught on a heavy snag or that the boat sank offshore and its the result of rolling on the bottom.
