Jekyll Island / Brunswick GA

[+Whittling Fisher]

Hi. I live in north GA and my wife and I are planning on visiting the Jekyll Island / Brunswick area of GA in mid June. I've looked at a few caches in that area, but just wanted some opinions from cachers who may have visited there before. We will probably stay busy most of the time, so I am looking for the "must do" caches in the area. We will probably be in surrounding areas too if there are any caches that were memorable with previous finders. Thanks.

You might try the "tour" series on St. Simons. I think they are pretty good, but then I placed them.

If you take a small trip up to Savannah, you will find over 200 cache's to choose from at your hearts desire.

The Jekyll Island Authority seems to welcome geocaching. The ones I've found on the island were quite fun. They range from a couple of drive-bys to beach hikes of up to a mile round trip.

I visited Jekyll Island three years ago and did some caching. A few of the ones I had gotten on that trip are archived now, but here are a few I really enjoyed:

 

Jurassic Pond - very scenic view, one of my all-time favorite caches!

 

Georgia Raptor - the warped, surreal looking trees growing out of the beach has to be seen to be believed. Plus it is on a secluded, non-touristy part of the beach.

 

Georgia Beer Lover's Cache - cool, easy access cache with some history and ruins to explore.

 

I had attempted every cache on the island back then. At the time there were very few caches there. Now it looks like there has been a whole lot more put out. Looks like a whole lot more fun for the cacher now. Beautiful place really. Eventually I will make my way back out there.
