Get your fun-in-the-sun time in before summer sun slips away
Jekyll Island
Spend the last bit of summer in the former playground of the Rockefellers, Pulitzers, and Morgans – Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia. This onetime exclusive and rarified blueblood retreat is now easily accessible to everyday vacationers – you just need to drive over a bridge near Brunswick to get there. Once on island, ditch the car – it’s best explored by bike, along trails that run right alongside the white-sand beaches. It’s also a renowned boating, fishing, horseback riding, golfing, tennis-playing, and water-park destination, to boot. You can still feel like a millionaire here, mind you, by spending the night at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel (www.jekyllclub.com), a fabulous landmark hotel that dates back to the Gilded Age.
