Best places: Beaches in Georgia

This picturesque beach on Jekyll Island's north end features numerous driftwood trees.

Sandy, dog-friendly beach with sunbathing, swimming & water sports, plus showers & restrooms.

👍👍 My husband and I enjoyed this beach. I saw on other reviews that it usually has less people than other beaches on the island which is correct. The beach is clean and well maintained. We saw dolphins not too far away from us. They were swimming and jumping out of the water. The pelicans were fun to w...

👍👍 This is a very beautiful and clean beach. Best of all for me were the sand dunes. I spent more of my time in awe at this unique ecosystem than I was in the water. As a plant lover, it’s really nice to come and see just how these unique flora adapted to what essentially is a desert-like habitat while...

👍 Nice relaxing place locally. Didn’t have to many people here and you can also fish right behind the beach, however there is a ton of yellow jacket problems. They are everywhere. Definitely don’t want to get stung here because they will all attack. Literally hundreds of them. Finally please pick...

Day-use park on Lake Lanier with a kid-friendly swimming beach, picnic shelters & walking trails.

👍👍 Great area for picnic and a swim! My wife and I just stopped in the area for nostalgic reasons. (Very clean and well maintained.) will go back! We would go there in the late 70s early 80s prior to all the upgrades. People would come out and throw a blanket out on the big open grassy area and just ha...

👍👍 Nice experience. There are many shelters. You can celebrate your lil function like bday or wedding anniversary. There is one artificial beach place and good side by view over there. Uploading pic for your ref. You can track there are sone trails too.

Swimming & sunbathing along a sandy shoreline with a playground, picnic tables & parking.

👍👍 This place is a hidden gem! Great place to cookout, swim and enjoy amazing views. This place is literally a few miles from Lake Lanier and free to the public. A donation of $5 to park is all you need to gain access to this beautiful park.

👍👍 Excellent beach to take walk, run or swim. Very family friendly. There is plenty of space for everyone to bring a tent and have their setup with good distance from each other. Somehow there is breeze from both end of the beach so it does not get scorching hot.

👍👍 A friend recommended this place for a quick weekend getaway. We never knew there was a lake just few minutes away from us. The place was huge and well-maintained. The $5 entrance fee was so worth it. We actually drove to all the areas to see how they looked like and they were all so clean with picni...

😐 It’s a nice beach just not pet friendly. I guess it use to be but it literally has huge signs at every entrance saying “No pets allowed” sucks because we drove and hour and 30 minutes thinking it’s pet friendly 🤷🏼‍♀️

This beach is situated on a lake surrounded by trees & is home to an RV park for visiting campers.

😠 Stopped for a night on Tybee Island while on a 3k mile road trip. Do not recommend if you have pets. We went for a run in the morning with our dog and ended up with a ticket. Dogs aren't allowed on the beach, fair enough, but this was listed fourth on a sign of multiple rules (see attached pic as an...

👍👍 As I headed toward Florida I wanted to find a great sunset spot so I found Jekyll Island without knowing anything about it. I paid the small fee to get on the island which was totally worth it and then I headed to the St. Andrew Beach and Picnic Area. It was one of the most surreal experiences I h...

👍👍 Nice place to enjoy a quick jog or walk around the Lanier. Good for a family outing and great place to bring your pets. Looking to do a quick walk or jog, this is the perfect spot as its scenic, next to the lake and has plenty coverage as well as parking. There's loads of things you can do here su...

👍👍 I usually go to South Carolina to hunt sharks teeth until I saw that Jekyll Island had a shark tooth Beach. I was skeptical but it had equally as impressive teeth and fossils as some of the best spots in South Carolina. I was overjoyed and this is a perfect beach for a beginner. Not only were there...

👍👍 The place was an excellent place to relax after a long day. The sunset is very beautiful. The place had facilities for swimming and then they also had some life jackets for free. A must-visit place for having a picnic during the weekends. The place also has a calm ambiance. They also have a campgrou...

👍👍 We loved our camp host, Mildred. I could tell she was super sweet just by talking to her on the phone and she lived up to expectations in person! The Lake was very beautiful, with a nice beach, plus banks all around the campground which several people used to dock their boats at near their campsite....
