This hidden gem off the coast of Georgia transforms into a peaceful, sun-drenched paradise during the autumn months—and it’s the perfect time to book your oceanfront vacation rental. With mild weather, fewer crowds, and a wealth of activities, fall is the ideal time to gather your loved ones for an unforgettable getaway on Georgia’s Golden Isles.

Why Choose Jekyll Island in the Fall?

Fall on Jekyll Island is like summer’s more relaxed, cooler cousin. Fall’s mild temperatures on Jekyll Island, averaging around 70-80°F during the day, make it perfect for enjoying the beach and pool without the summer heat or humidity. The off-peak season (October to December) also means fewer visitors, giving your group a more intimate experience on Jekyll Island’s pristine beaches. Whether you’re a multi-generational family or a group of friends, our beach house offers the space and amenities to make your stay seamless and memorable.

• Beach days without the burn – The sun is gentler, but it’s still warm enough to swim, sunbathe, or build sandcastles.
• Biking and exploring – With over 20 miles of scenic bike trails winding past maritime forests, marshes, and historic landmarks, it’s an outdoor lover’s dream.
• Wildlife watching – Fall is a prime season to spot dolphins, sea birds, and even sea turtles returning to the water.
• Peace and quiet – Fewer crowds mean more room for your family to spread out and enjoy the beach, nature walks, and restaurants without long waits.

As a state park, Jekyll Island’s natural beauty has been preserved creating a quiet peaceful retreat for your family or group. Miles of natural beaches, maritime forests and gorgeous intercostal waterways offer something for everyone.

Family-Friendly Outdoor Adventures

Jekyll Island is packed with activities to keep groups entertained:

• Summer Waves Water Park: Open select weekends in early fall, this water park features slides, a lazy river, and splash zones that kids adore (check for seasonal hours).
• Georgia Sea Turtle Center: A hit with all ages, this center offers interactive exhibits and the chance to see rehabilitated sea turtles. Fall is a great time for educational programs or even witnessing a turtle release.
• Horseback Riding: Book a group ride along the beach or through the forests for a memorable experience. Sunset rides in the fall are particularly scenic.
• Golf: Head to the Jekyll Island Miniature Golf course, with Red Bug Pizza on sight, is perfect for a golf outing with the kids. For the adults in the group, Jekyll’s multiple golf courses, including the newly redesigned oceanfront 18-hole golf course, offer challenging fairways and stunning coastal views, ideal for a day of serious play or a leisurely round with friends.
