Driftwood Beach is a short out and back trail on Jekyll Island in Georgia. It is just 0.3 mi with unique views. While the trees are there as a result of decades of erosion, it is truly a spectacular place to visit. We were there in February and it was pretty chilly. The mist and fog created a mysterious feeling. I was a little disappointed at first, but then I reveled in the contrast between the dark wood and the thick fog. It was truly beautiful. I honestly don’t think there could be a bad time of day to go to Driftwood Beach. I’m certain that sunrise and sunset would be spectacular here. It would also make a great spot for a picnic while taking a bike tour of the island. We hopped on the North Loop Route because it started just outside of the campground, our home while we visited the island. This route is 9 miles total, although we did not complete the entire loop. Jekyll itself has over 20 miles of bike trails to explore with a variety of scenery. Driftwood Beach is a popular spot and parking is limited, so riding a bike there alleviates any possible issues with parking. I highly recommend checking out Driftwood Beach and adding it to a bike ride around the island. You will not be disappointed!
