Long Description:Driftwood Beach is along the northern end of Jekyll Island, a
barrier island on Georgia's southeast coast. It is covered by the
remains of many trees, which have been preserved by the salt air
and water from the ocean. Some of the remains capture enough water
on a falling tide to create tidal pools filled with small sea life.
Coastal birds can be seen running amongst the water's edge and the
tidal pools, foraging for food. All together, it can create a scene
that is both beautiful and eerie at the same time.
The beach has several access points along Beachview Drive;
parking is available along the side of the road, with a short walk
along well defined trails required to reach the beach. This is a
popular spot for walking, bike riding, or just exploring the beach.
The tide can get close to the living tree line, which limits the
room for sunbathing.
