We love to get here early to find a good spot, but be mindful that the beach can get busy during peak season. Either way, this beach never feels super packed, and is one of my favorites in the region. Love that it's dog friendly, just be mindful of the on and off leash times that coincide with peak season.

We stopped here on the way back from dinner. As you can tell by its name it has a lot of scenic…read moredunes. Sandy hills with some vegetation dot the landscape. You can see a lot of these from the parking lot and the walk way along the top of the park. The park has all the facilities you'd look for in a beach side park. We didn't walk over the board walk down to the beach or along the beach as we were dressed up for dinner. But we did take a peek at everything several feet in. We met a couple with their young daughter who was scared to walk down to the beach after reading about the "wildlife" that was present (see the sign). My husband solved their "problem" by telling the little girl that all those fish, etc. were now asleep so she shouldn't be scared. We got a very heartfelt (but surreptitious) thank you. This is one of the beaches you should see when on the island.

We stopped here on the way back from visiting the Horton House Ruins and the du Bignon cemetery…read more It's not far away off the main road. We came here to see their fishing pier, not realizing that it's also a venue for horseback riding. But the signs say this as you are entering the area. This is one of the few really buggy places we encountered on island. In fact, the buggiest. We were glad we had some spray on. So, plan ahead if you're coming here. We drove in on a very narrow road along with a few of the bicycle riders. We passed some of the picnic areas with tables and grills. We parked along the water in the small, paved lot next to the bait and tackle shop/convenience store (it seems to have a bit of everything). We took a walk part of the way down the pier. It is quite large and T-shaped with a straightaway section that's open air and a partly covered area further out into the water. We stopped and talked to some of those who were fishing. We were curious to see what they were catching, if anything. We were told flounder and sheepshead. (Just a note: both are tasty fish, and we were surprised to find no restaurants on island serving either of these fish.). It was delightful with a slight breeze. The park is located across the road from a campground so that may be why there were a lot of bike riders here. In addition, there is a jogging trail which we didn't explore. Supposedly you can see some ships from this pier, as well, but we didn't see any at the time we were there.

This area features a fishing pier, a bait & tackle / convenience shop, picnic areas, grill areas, public restrooms, beach access, views of the sunset, bike and hiking paths, and pens from which the horseback rides embark. This is a very cool place, but i experienced two drawbacks. One was the gnats. Nowhere else on the island did I get gnats than here. I was all over the island, all times of day and night, and honestly this was the only spot where i felt any bugs! I presume it's because of the fish being caught everywhere, but still it's unpleasant. I wish the parks department would look into insect control. If toxins are a concern, natural solutions like nematodes and bats are great at controlling bugs. The other issue was some of the people who consistently hung out at this location. I definitely felt safe everywhere on this island, but I did feel a little intimidated at this spot with some of the fishermen. It seemed like people were casing one another, for what, I do not know. But there was this weird anxiousness and paranoia going on for a lot of the fishing people. Maybe they were competing with one another for the best spot to fish? Just kind of pacing past one another, giving dirty looks. Odd. Or maybe they were just losing their minds from the bugs? People were definitely on edge any time I visited this place. I smiled at many, no one smiled back. Just odd. So those things aside, I recommend you plan to wear bug repellent and just keep moving around as you visit this place. Idk how people were grilling and having picnics with those gnats. Good for them. But my advice is to just make your rounds to see everything and hike it outta there to anywhere else on the island if you want to just sit and chill!

They have everything from souvenir Tees and shot glasses, to seashell wind chimes, to anything you need for fishing, to beachy home decor, and even some higher end outdoor supplies (relevant to the campground across the road from Clam Creek). Souvenir items the same as what is sold at Jekyll Market, were 20-30% cheaper at Jekyll Fishing Center. One family member bought some expensive outdoor gear and was very happy with the price. It wasn't anything needed, but the deal was too good to pass. Staff was really friendly and attentive. Vibe in the store is welcoming and unobtrusive. Will be back next trip!

My wife and I were visiting SSI for the first time in late July. We spent a few days on the Island…read moreand then decided to book a charter fishing trip. We contacted Jeff Stokes at Reel Stoked Charter Fishing and booked a half day trip fishing in the backwater. We showed up at the Pier and were greeted by the Captain. We got settled in the boat and took off for what ended up being a GREAT day of fishing! We used fresh shrimp as bait and casted slip bobbers up stream and used the current to drift them to the holes where the fish were at. We caught spotted trout, redfish, and my wife even caught a bonnet head shark! We fished on points and also casted and drifted over some oyster beds. It was pretty cool too to hear Tarpon jumping and splashing off in the distance. We enjoyed getting to know Jeff and had some very pleasant and engaging conversation during the day. Jeff has a really nice and clean boat that can fish three guests comfortably. The boat is equipped with up to date electronics and GPS technology and all the necessary safety equipment. The only drawback, and it is very slight, is that there is no overhead canopy on the boat or toilet. So make sure you wear a good sized hat and sunscreen and use the toilets at the pier before you depart. This was my first time fishing for these species of fish and we had a blast! Next time we are in SSI, we will be going out fishing again with Reel Stoked Charter Fishing and Captain Jeff Stokes! A nice plus too is that he accepts major credit cards including AMEX!!
