About This Beach
Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island is a unique coastal area characterized by its massive collection of driftwood trees, creating a surreal and picturesque landscape. While not ideal for swimming due to submerged hazards, it's perfect for photography, leisurely walks, and exploring the unusual natural formations. Its pet-friendly nature and relative accessibility, combined with the potential for stunning sunrises and sunsets, make it a popular destination, although crowds can be a factor, especially during peak seasons.
