From doing it all to doing nothing at all, the pace of discovery is yours to choose.

You are among the latest in a long line of visitors drawn to our natural wonderland where a profound sense of history lingers in every breeze. Explore the island and the History of Jekyll Island, GA while you're here. Connect with an opulent past and enjoy the modern conveniences at the same time.

In the 1500s, the Spanish arrived, their soldiers seeking gold, their missionaries seeking religious converts among the Native Americans. In 1736, General James Oglethorpe founded Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island. Six years later, Oglethorpe s troops defeated insurgent Spanish at The Battle of Bloody Marsh and helped determine the course of colonial history.

Later, the antebellum era flourished as sea island cotton became king and sprawling plantations operated all along the Georgia coast until the War Between the States.

In 1886, a group of the world's wealthiest families bought Jekyll Island as their winter retreat. The Morgans, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Pulitzers and others, reputed to hold over one-sixth of the world s wealth, established the Jekyll Island Club and built their compound of enormous cottages along the banks of Jekyll Creek. The Club closed in 1942, and Jekyll was sold to the State of Georgia in 1947.

In 1908, timber magnate Philip Berolzheimer bought Little St. Simons Island as his family's private hunting and fishing preserve. His descendants now open the Island with its rustic elegance year round to a limited number of guests.

In 1928, Howard Coffin, the automaker who invented the Hudson, established The Cloister on Sea Island and began the traditions for which the hotel and the Island are world famous.

All these visitors found here what you, too, will find...spell-binding beauty and memorable discoveries.
