What are the beaches at on Jekyll Island?|132625

We went to Amelia last year but it was a bit pricey. We love Emerald Isle NC because it_s very quiet. We spend most of our time in the water or playing tennis but I_ve heard some bad things about jelly fish and brown water.

If you want crystal clear waters, JI will disappoint. The waters are murky. However, this is mainly due to silth and minerals entering the GA Coast from nearby beautiful marshes, not raw sewage.

It_s true that jellyfish can be numerous at times but this mostly an issue around the deeper waters of the JI pier and the island_s north end. The beachy areas are not infested. Beach authorities keep close watch on Jellyfish activities and wouldn_t hesitate to post warning flags when medium to high risk is posed. I guess there_s always the risk of running into a jellyfish when a human enters the Atlantic Ocean.

However, if you want wide beaches, JI is for you. If you want uncrowded beaches, JI is for you. If you want warm waters, JI is for you. If you want to walk 1/4 mile into the water and still only be chest deep, JI is for you. If you want non-touristy beaches, JI is for you. If you want nearly unspoiled costal beauty, JI is definitely for you. If you want an unassuming atmosphere, JI is for you. If you need to totally relax, JI is for you. If you want to enjoy one of GA_s best kept secrets, head straight for JI.
