The Driftwood Beach of Jekyll Island Georgia

Just down the road from our camp at the Jekyll Island Campground we found an amazing spot. Today we will take a “Quality Time” stroll along The Driftwood Beach of Jekyll Island. There are some neat sky photos so will link to Sky Watch Friday

Another beautiful morning on Jekyll Island and Linda has had her coffee. It is time to get off the bench and get a little exercise.Time to explore the Golden Isles of Georgia 

“Located on the north end of Jekyll Island, Driftwood beach will amaze you with the beautiful driftwood and trees that resemble a tree graveyard.” LINK

The north end of the island is slowly eroding away and being deposited on the south end of the island.

Linda and I have been to many beaches, but none similar to this. The best time to explore the beach is  at low tide, better to see the beach and all the shells and wildlife that go with it.

If you want a beautiful view without a crowd, this is the place to go.

Why don’t oysters give to charity?… Because they’re shellfish……. Where do shellfish go to borrow money?… The prawn broker……

A quiet, pristine beach.

Jekyll Island is a "one of a kind" place that is very unspoiled by neon signs and overpopulation.

From the beach you can see St. Simon's Island and the St. Simon Lighthouse.

What did the beach say to the wave?… “Long tide, no sea.”

This is a great beach to just “hang out.”

Look close.. How many people do you see in the photo? I would think the hammock would be more comfortable.

Some people get married on Driftwood Beach and some don’t though a lot of weddings do occur on Jekyll Island.

 

If you visit at dusk on a cloudy day as we did later in the week….it's like walking in a black and white film. Very cool…..

Meanwhile back at the bench

no time to sit because there is just tooooo much to explore .. Stay tuned for more posts about Jekyll Island and the Golden Isles

“Cool Person” at the beach says, “Thanks for stopping by My Quality Time.”  You might enjoy a visit to The Georgia Sea Turtle Center..CLICK

ONE MORE::: A man was on a beach when he discovered an old lamp in the sand. He rubbed it and a genie popped out. The genie said "I will grant you three wishes. The only condition is that you cannot wish for more wishes." "Alright," said the man, "I wish for more genies."

“The Awesome Threesome.”

A great day to celebrate “SENIORS” at My Quality Time

A Quality Time Turtle Update at The Georgia Sea Turtle Center

 A Quality time visit to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center

First Loggerhead Nest of the Season Found on Cumberland Island BRUNSWICK, Ga. (5/12/2014)

Loggerhead sea turtles may be slow on land, but give them this: When it comes to the start of nesting season, they tend to be on time. Georgia’s first loggerhead nest of 2014 was found at Cumberland Island on Friday, May 9. READ MORE

Now a visit to:

The Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island Georgia

DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER

“Loggerhead turtles are susceptible to a number of threats, both natural and man-made. These threats include but are not limited to watercraft interaction, disease, cold stunning, predators (The main threats to Georgia sea turtles are nest predation by hogs, raccoons, and dogs,)  entanglement in passive fishing gear, incidental capture in commercial and recreational fisheries, light pollution, nesting habitat degradation and beach erosion.” READ MORE.. With problems like that you need a HOSPITAL FOR TURTLES… an integral part of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.

I would like to introduce you to: Flounder

I hope I’m not violating any HIPAA Privacy Rules LOL 

“The Georgia Sea Turtle Center is a hospital for ill and injured sea turtles, and we are the only hospital of its kind in Georgia! The Center is open to the public and offers an interactive Exhibit Gallery and Rehabilitation Pavilion, where guests can view our patients and witness their recovery process.” READ MORE

Flounders surgery was successful. Dr. Beau Sasser (human orthopedic surgeon) and Lindsay Erickson (surgical tech) donated their equipment and time.

Meanwhile back at the beach:

I had to chance to talk with Katie an employee of the Sea turtle Center. Katie is from California and has a degree in wildlife management.Before Katie started working at the Center she had done some volunteer work in Costa Rica.

  Katie was putting plastic pipes in the ground  to measure water levels at the beach. Proper ground water levels are crucial for proper nesting and propagation of sea turtles.

Joe Todd and Linda say, “Thanks for stopping by and we hope you enjoyed your visit to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.”
