“Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey”
Thursday, Aug 1st
We arrived on Jekyll Island around 4pm on Aug 1st. It was about a 5 hr drive from Gulfport. Unfortunately, we arrived in a downpour! But by the time we got to our site, the rain had tapered off. The Jekyll Island Campground is nice – very wooded but lots of campers and tents.
We had enough daylight left to take the dogs down to the beach. We attempted St. Andrews Beach since it is one of the best sunset beaches but there were too many fishermen. So we opted for another nearby beach. The dogs all got to run off leash (except for Stoli who was kept on a 75′ rope). After a LOT of sand and running, plus a really pretty sunset, we returned to camp and bed.

We could tell the day was mostly going to be a washout due to rain so we attempted most of our beach time in the morning. We loaded the dogs on the jeep and headed off to Driftwood Beach. This beach is covered with old, dead trees everywhere. I only wish we could see a sunrise here (maybe tomorrow??). But the dogs all got a chance to play again in the sand. We then headed to Clam Creek park for another beach walk.
The afternoon was supposed to be wet so Joan headed off for a long bike ride before the rain set in. Jekyll Island has some nice bike trails. As the day came to a close, we caught dinner at Tortuga Jack’s on the beach then headed off to see what turned out to be a pretty stunning sunset.
