Water Activities:
Brand New Family Fun Zone is open just down the street ($7 a day). It's a Brand New Pool oceanside, next to the lighthouse. It has a water playland for the smaller tikes too. Easy access between pool and beach so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Full snack bar, and new putt-putt course.
For hanging out at the beach, we recommend the beach that falls between 5th street and the old coast guard station about a 1 1/2 stretch.
For more adventure visit Jekyll Island Water park a full scale waterpark with wave pool, big slides, lazy river ect.
