Best place to rent bikes for a week?

My family is making a trip down this summer and I'm looking to rent a bike to get around the island for the lost part. There's a few options out there but I'd love to hear from some local experience. Preferably looking for a place that has something with a few few gears and a rack I could attach a pannier.

Jekyll And Tide

Has anyone eaten there? Seems quite a departure towards the upscale side from the Driftwood Bistro. Star ratings I see are pretty strong so far, but would love a real world review.

Sans Souci - Jekyll Island, GA. What is this???

“Built in 1896, the Sans Souci originally had 6 apartments on its first 3 floors for members, and 12 rooms for servants to live in the attic. The first 6 members of the Sans Souci Association included J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, and President of the club Henry Hyde.”

Wedding venue/setting

Hi! I'm looking for suggestions for a ceremony and reception in jekyll Island. My partner and I are from Tennessee but living in Florida and have family all over, but predominantly midsouth/southeast... we are loving the idea of a beach wedding and have found jekyll island idyllic. We want a ceremony that is ideally beach front but more importantly has a big pretty tree with Spanish moss or a couple palm trees to frame the ceremony backdrop, or even driftwood (I know driftwood beach is a good option for this). Would love any of your suggestions for a pretty ceremony of 50-70 people, with somewhat of a tropical foliage backdrop or a big windy tree! We love the Spanish moss and rocky shore and the lush beach paths in jekyll. But not local so we need help!

If you have suggestions for an affordable reception space that may have partially covered outdoor space or may allow for a tent and some beachside, tropical boho bonfire vibes would love to hear about it as well. Thanks guys!! :D

Water outage

Anyone aware of a water outage on the island right now? We just came down from Asheville and the place doesn't have water right now (or very low flow). It was fine this morning. We're staying near Seafarer Inn.

Jekyll Island after Hurricane Helene

I'm supposed to be visiting Jekyll Island next weekend. I am flying from the UK and will be travelling down from Savannah. What is the current state of Jekyll Island and the roads to it from Savannah? I am unable to get hold of my hotel at the moment.

Hard to Uber out?

Hello! I’m visiting this beautiful island for what was originally a work trip, but my wife and I decided to stay some extra days to celebrate our anniversary. I’m wondering though, is it difficult to get an Uber back to the Jacksonville airport? Thank you in advance for any advice!

Fireworks?

I am looking around to find a good spot to take the kids to watch fireworks. Maybe around the beach? Of course it will be very populated, but the less the better 😅

First time visiting the island and have some basic questions!

My family will be camping in our 26ft bumper pull trailer at the campground for 5 nights at the end of the month. We have 3 kids ages 3,5,8. It’s the 3 and final leg of our 2 week trip down the east coast.

-Is there sufficient parking at the multiple beaches? -What beaches are best for swimming, nature, etc? I assume there is some variation. -Can I just pay the $15 entry fee upon entry ONCE as long as I don’t leave the island? -If I do leave the island without the camper in tow, it would cost $10 to enter? -What are the “must do” family things while visiting? -Anything you wish you knew previously that you’d like share?

Thank you!

Showers

Is there anywhere on the island to take a indoor shower? Like paid showers, where you can really wash off.

Georgia Sea Turtle Center - Behind the Scenes Tour

A few weeks ago I booked Behind the Scenes Tour tickets for Friday,April 12th. I realized over the weekend that I am one ticket short for our group. I attempted to add another ticket but it was sold out. I requested to be added to the waitlist. Does anyone know how often additional tickets become available for the waitlist? I also noticed that the tickets are nonrefundable. Is there anywhere I could find if someone was trying to sell a ticket to not lose their money? I feel awful that I messed up and I am hoping to fix it.

Wanting to get out on the water

Hey everyone. I am new to the Brunswick area and am looking to get out on a boat. If anyone has room on their next trip I would appreciate it. I am a clean respectable guy. I can supply whatever is needed(food, beer, gas). Just looking to get out on the water.

Anywhere similar to The Cottages?!

Our family has been vacationing on Jekyll Island the past few summers, staying at The Cottages. We love the vibe, privacy and laid back atmosphere. Looking to go somewhere else this year, East Coast, but we want it to be so similar to The Cottages. Anyone know of a great place

(Fly) Fishing tips?

Hello! I've been vacationing at Jekyll for many years now, but this summer will be the first time I go since getting into fly fishing! I know there's redfish and other cool saltwater species to fish for around the island, but I'd love to get some tips on maximizing my chances when I'm there. If you're a fly angler, I'd love to hear about which flies are effective so I can start tying them (I've tied a bunch of clouser minnows but that's the only saltwater fly I have rn). I've never fished there so any info is welcome!

Coastal Ga Wildlife Economic Impact Survey

Ga DNR and UGA Marine Extension/Ga Sea Grant have created a survey to help better evaluate the economic impact coastal wildlife viewing (bird-watching, nature tours, etc.) has in our communities. This will be great to understand if communities benefit from wildlife viewing areas like parks, refuges, and businesses like ecotourism. If you’ve visited coastal Ga in the last year or live in the area and you’re interested in filing out the 5-10 minute survey- click the link below. Please share!

Turtle walks/ride with patrols

Any idea how much it costs to participate in the ride with dawn/night patrols? The evening turtle walks? Are both options available first part of June?

Pet friendly Jekyll or SSI

My fiancé and I are eloping to the area next month. Very familiar with the area as we used to live there.

Having a hard time finding an air bnb or vrbo that will allow two Golden Retrievers. I am a disabled veteran with stage vi cancer. I don’t mention this for any reason other that we are older and not a young party group. It’s just my fiancé and I looking for a house with a fenced yard. Also any videographers looking for a couple hours work to shoot a very small beach ceremony.
Thanks a bunch and happy new year!!

Strong WiFi

I’m on the island staying at the campground. I’ve got a work zoom call. Any recommendations on where I could find a stronger signal than what the campground has to offer?

What to do

This seems to be a pretty dormant subreddit, but I’m hoping for suggestions for what to do for a week in December. I’m bringing my bike.
