A few tips for your shoot:

If you have young ones, please feed them, or bring a snack along. You may want to skip the Cheetos or orange powered snacks, multi-colored candies can be an issue too. Cheerios or neutral-colored snacks a great, and won’t dye hands and mouths.

If your young ones still nap, or if they played really hard at the Jekyll Island beaches, you may want to give them a nap before your shoot to ensure you get the smiles that you want.

If you have just arrived, and your kids haven’t seen the ocean yet, you may want to bring a towel and change of clothes.

Shooting on the beach or under the oaks, solid colors are typically best. Busy prints can clash with driftwood or moss covered oaks.

Bribes are pretty common. If you need ideas, are top winners are ice cream for the little ones, and fishing trips for the grown-ups!

If you are concerned about the kids melting down, in our experience it’s the grown men that have the shortest attention spans. Ha ha!

Most importantly, have fun!

The southernmost island of the Golden Isles, Jekyll Island is one of the most popular islands for Golden Isles visitors, hosting a wide variety of family-friendly activities and attractions. This 5,700 acre island is beautiful to visit any time of year, but it is particularly beautiful in the spring and fall. Find out more about Jekyll Island weather averages before you plan your next escape!

Jekyll Island History

Jekyll Island was purchased in 1886 by a group of wealthy families as a private retreat. By 1900, The Jekyll Island Club membership included the Rockefellers, Morgans, Cranes and Goulds and represented over one-sixth of the world’s wealth. The Club closed in 1942 and Jekyll Island was purchased by the State of Georgia in 1947. Learn more about the rich history of Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Today, this era of Jekyll Island’s history can be dramatically revisited with a tram tour of the National Historic Landmark District, including many of the opulent mansions their millionaire owners called “cottages.”

Things to Do on Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island offers an abundance of recreational activities that are sure to please visitors of all ages. A variety of amenities include ten miles of white sand beaches, 63 holes of golf, an outdoor tennis complex, the Summer Waves Water park, a fishing pier, Jekyll Island dolphin tours, horseback riding tours, nature centers, 20 miles of bike trails and the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.

In addition, since the island is owned by the State of Georgia and managed by the Jekyll Island Authority, the island’s development is limited to just 1,609 acres to preserve the critical barrier island ecosystem. Great lengths have been taken to honor this ratio while the highly anticipated revitalization of Jekyll Island moves forward. Since most of the island is protected, there is also plenty of nature and wildlife to explore! All the family-friendly activities on Jekyll Island are enough to keep any visitor busy!
