Jekyll Island’s Driftwood Beach among ‘Best Beaches in America’

2021 Tripadvisor ‘Travelers’ Choice’ study lists best beaches in country

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. – Driftwood Beach on Georgia’s Jekyll Island is among the best beaches in the country, according to a new report.

The location made #11 in the “Top 25 Beaches in the United States,” according to TripAdvisor.

Last year, St. Augustine Beach made the list, but the local beach came up short this year.

I can understand why they did filming from ‘The Walking Dead’ here,” one review says. “The oak trees are enormous. A must-see sight that is great for photographers.

Those who visit love to relax, tan, take pictures, look for sharks teeth, make sandcastles and more.
