Review:
Located on the ocean side of Jekyll Island, South Dunes Beach is separated from the nearby South Dunes Picnic Area by massive 20-foot-high ancient dunes.
The beach can be reached by an elevated boardwalk, which also offers wonderful views of the island.
The huge dunes protect the beach from the strong winds, making it a favorite for families with small kids.
The beach provides a home and nesting ground for resting migratory birds, so pets are not allowed.
The nearby South Dunes Picnic Area provides grills, picnic tables, and open and screened picnic pavilions.
It also offers restrooms, showers, and a freshwater pond.
