    Beautiful Beach!

    Great beach for walking and views! Surreal landscapes. Very fun and interesting. Our pup enjoyed it as much as we did!

    Beautiful!

    Dogs must stay leashed on this beach, but we had a wonderful time. It is gorgeous! We did see an alligator in a creek on the way in, so just be aware.

    Great spot!

    great area! Great people! My huskies loved playing in the water here. There was plenty of space for them to run without bumping into crowds!!

    Great Beach

    This was the first time taking the pups to the beach, one loved it and the other could have cared less. Beach was clean and beautiful, everyone was respectful of one another. We found several shells.

    Well worth the 20 min drive from I 95

    Beautiful driftwood. Great place for a walk! 8$ fee to enter Jekyll island ( Sep 2022)

    Awesome beach!

    A must see! The driftwood is great for some cool pictures and was not busy when we visited! Dogs enjoyed checking it out and not a far walk!

    Love this beach!

    Love Driftwood Beach! The sand is packed down for easy walking. All of the driftwood was neat to see. Lots of little walking paths to get to it. Our dog loved it!

    our pups enjoyed this part of the island the most. perhaps it was the salty breeze and all the little crabs they chased.

    Adventure is out there!

    Dog must be on leash, but if you ask me it’s a nice long beach that is perfect for a beach hike! Enjoy beautiful scenery while looking at shells and the ocean!

    Great picture taking spot

    Beautiful driftwood will blow your mind! Not a good place to swim because slime and rocks. Overall breathtaking place and lots of shade for pups!

    Great Location

    This is a great place to get away with the dogs. Not a fan of having to keep the dogs on their leashes and there was only the one trash can at the entrance, so you'll have to carry any poop bags with you. The dogs enjoyed the warm waters and although there were a ton of people (5pm on a Saturday) it was still very open.

    Amazing Beach!

    I have been to beaches all over the world and this one is on the top of my list! So very unique, beautiful, and peaceful. Leashed pups were all over and having a great time :) I can’t wait to go back!!!

    Check your pup over after!!

    Our boys loved the beach and all the smells it had to offer. Make sure to check your pup after leaving. We found ticks on all of our dogs, one had about 10 trying to dig their way into his thick fur. They're all on preventative, but still never fun to have bugs crawling on them.

    Neat Spot

    We enjoyed our visit to this beach with our Jack Russell! Dogs are welcome and must be on leash at all times, which is fine with us. There are no doggie or water stations so plan accordingly. Trash cans are located at the entrance to the beach only.
