Biking on Jekyll Island


Jekyll Island is only 7 1/2 miles long. There are more than 20 miles of bike paths the cover the island. Many of the paths go through the moss covered woods. The trails are nice & flat.

We don't own a bike rack, so there really was no easy way to bring our own bikes with us, so we rented some for the day from the hotel. 

They provided us with a map of all the bikes trails, so we had to consult it now & then. 

James is taking a water break. 

My own bike broke beyond repair 4 or 5 years ago, so it had been a while since I had ridden a bike. 


We rode past lots of marshes.

We bought the kids each their own pair of binoculars before we came on our trip. They used them to get a closer look at some of the wildlife. 




We rode past some beautiful cottages in the historic district.

We stopped at some of the little shops.



Most of the biking was in shaded areas, thankfully! We estimated that we had biked for 10-12 miles when we were finished. I was a bit sore after our ride!
