Jekyll Creek Boat Ramp

The Jekyll Island boat ramp provides access to Jekyll Creek, a tidal waterway along the Georgia coast. This is a popular launch site for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp is located near the historic Jekyll Island Club Resort and is accessible from the Tidelands Nature Center entrance.

The boat ramp is a single-lane design, requiring paddlers to carry their kayaks or canoes from the parking area to the water's edge. Jekyll Creek flows through a marshy, protected coastal environment, making it well-suited for leisure trips and wildlife viewing. Boaters should be aware of tidal conditions, as water levels can fluctuate significantly.

While this launch site does not have set hours or fees, visitors should plan accordingly and be prepared to carry their boats a short distance. Nearby recreation areas like Fort Frederica National Monument and Cumberland Island National Seashore offer additional opportunities for exploration along the Georgia coast. Paddlers and boaters are encouraged to review local regulations and practice safety measures when using the Jekyll Island boat ramp.

The Jekyll Island Club Resort, built in 1887 and a member of Historic Hotels of America® since 1993 was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Historic Hotels of America is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation® for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across America.
Nestled on a barrier island off the Georgia coast, the Jekyll Island Club opened in 1887 as a hunting retreat for America's wealthiest
families. Here, millionaires wintered in scenic seclusion until the onset of World War II when the property was abandoned.
Restoration in 1986 revealed the club's original beauty and elegance, qualities that exude in abundance from the leaded art glass,
ornate woodwork, and Rumford fireplaces. From the lofty tower to the encircling verandas and original heart pine floors, Victorian
charm still permeates the public areas and rooms once occupied by the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Astors, and Morgans. In 2003,
Jekyll Island was named one of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.For Price Match Guarantee and Special Offers please visit, please visit HistoricHotels.org.
