Jekyll Island Beach

Surfs up at this dog friendly beach. Jekyll Island's beaches are heaven on earth for our canine friends. Dogs must be under their parent's direct control. Which, for your beach dog, usually means on a leash. Dogs aren't allowed to run free unsupervised. From the boardwalk at South Dunes Picnic Area south to 2000' south of St. Andrews Picnic Area, no dogs allowed, leashed or not. This is to protect migratory seabirds and nesting sea turtles. However, service dogs are allowed. Pet parents must scoop their pets poop, and dispose of it properly.
