We have been to the island multiple times and enjoy our trip each time. We decided to get a Red Bug this time and it is well worth the money! We have thoroughly enjoyed the convenient, open air rides in the mornings and all throughout the day. The Red Bugs are gas powered, street legal, and have safety belts, cup holders, and a small basket for shopping bags! These are much easier to maneuver around the island and shopping village than a crew cab pick up! We will definitely be getting a red bug for further beach trips!

We also rent battery operated bicycles for $45/3hours. The Hobie Mirage Eclipse (HME) boards are great for those uncertain about trying to SUP. The HME has handlebars and an elliptical propulsion!

We always ride bicycles on our visits. Its an easy ride with most of the trails pretty level and on the trails you get to see a lot more than can be seen from the roads. A good portion is shaded so it isn't too hot. Early morning rides are the most enjoyable to us.

Reviewed By 159BarryD159 - Frankfurt, Germany
Although small, it is very enjoyable and educational and is definitely worth a visit if you are on Jekyll Island. The staff are wonderful and tolerate numerous questions. Be sure to be there for the "Meet the patients" or turtle feeding demonstrations, as they are something special and heart-warming to know that some injured turtles are being so well-cared for until they can be returned to the sea.
9. Historic Jekyll Wharf

The Historic Wharf is located on Jekyll Island, this is the perfect location to see the boats traveling along the Intracoastal Waterway going to all parts of the world. This is the best location on Jekyll Island to watch the Tropical Sunset. This is also the home of Jekyll Island Boat Tours and the Wharf Restaurant. Come to the Wharf for lunch or dinner and take one of the many boat tours of the beautiful Georgia Coast where you will see much of our wildlife such as our Dolphins. This is the perfect location for a catered event.

We loved the short walk to the Wharf from the Club. We had lunch and dinner on the deck, and at dinner we enjoyed the live music. The service and the food were excellent. Our seafood and steak were very flavorful and were prepared just right. We topped off our dinner with Key Lime Tortes, which were delicious. We will definitely return.
