Come back to Jekyll again and include the world famous Driftwood Beach, shown in many movies. Then come see us on Saint Simons Island, right next door.
We are definitely going to have to come back since being told by others as well that I missed this famous beach. Honestly I didn't even see a sign to point me that beach but I surely will be going back now that I know its there. Saint Simons and Brunswick are my other spots I want to see up there. What place are you referring to next to Saint Simons airport?
@@j2pov I meant that St Simons is right next door to Jekyll. But plenty of fun on SSI too. Southern soul BBQ across the street from the FBO. Fried chicken at the Porch and great shrimp everywhere!
My buddy and I just flew into Appleton WI for Oshkosh this year and the uber driver that drove us from OSH to ATW owned one of those cottages that you showed in the video. He was telling us all about the island and the history of the island. Very cool that this popped up in my feed. Nice flying and good narrating for the trip.
Those houses are part of an incredible history, same with JI Club. You should read up on it you would appreciate it even more! That’s the main thing about Jekyll, the 150 year history.
I plan a return trip but next time It's going to be the tour of the plantation and driftwood beach instead of just touring the whole Island. Thank you for your insight on this.
St. Simon and Brunswick are both on my radar as well. We just decided to go to Jekyll first. Thank you for the restaurant referral though so now I know where to visit when I do go there.
I used to fly up and down the coast, based out of Savannah. Dinner, or lunch, or shopping etc. Fun times. Brunswick/Jekyll/St Simons, all little airports very close to each other was the destination from time to time. I once took my gal and another couple down the coast to St Simons to eat at what was supposed to be a very high end and great restaurant, Emmeline & Hessie's. Turned out to be the worst eating experience ever! Bad service, bad food, high prices. The only time I ever remember making a restaurant remove the tip from a bill. They are out of business now lol. Anyway...love flying up and down the coast in that area, especially at night in good weather. Seeing the tributaries and intercoastal with the moon shining off of the water is very nice.
St Simon and Brunswick are definitely on my list of places to stop. Sorry to hear hear about your experience and that restaurant. I hate it when these establishments get such great reviews and you have to find out the hard way that the review was not true. At least they have closed up so no one else has t make that mistake. Flying the coast is something I have been looking forward to for awhile. I have a trip to Virginia planned so I will get to see what you have already done. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I don't know why it took until the end of the video to notice Justin's hat says Piper Princess! Looks like Jekyll Island is a great place to fly in to. Glad you had fun and played the return flight safely.
Thanks Joel. I'm Glad you liked the video and Jekyll Island is great place to visit. I'm good with the 2.5 hour delay getting home if it means that I did it safely.
Just found your channel and I'm impressed with your videos. Very down to earth. I now have a second aviation phrase I'm going to remember and use...fly good..land gooder! Love it! I'm a private pilot near Houston at KDWH. A checkride away from my instrument rating. Looking forward to following you guys! Oh the other phrase is "welcome to the sky" which you probably know belongs to LD of lewdix aviation channel on RUclips. GREAT VIDEOS you guys, Keep it up!
Thank you for the great compliment and I am happy that you enjoyed the videos. I am very familiar with LD as he was an instructor at my school a few years back. He has great content in his videos. Be safe in your flying endeavors and remember... Fly Good, Land Gooder!
We lived down in that area (St. Simons) for about 3 years. It really is a great place to live. Or, it used to be anyway. My wife worked at FLETC and I work for Gulfstrean in Brunswick. We'd still be there if it weren't for the gnats and yellow flies... )-:
It really is a beautiful place and thankfully I didn't have to experience the gnats and the flies! I do want to make a trip to St. Simon and Brunswick and Savanah soon though. They look like a great place to visit as well
Someone had mentioned that earlier too. I had intentions of doing that but the storms cut my day short going home. My next trip there, that will be the first stop for sure. Thank you for the recommendation. Much appreciated
I really enjoy your videos. I’m coming to you from Fort Myers. Thank you for these types of videos, J2POV is going to be one of the best. You make awesome content and give great information. I feel like a passenger and I’m always glad to get home safe😂. FGLG!
Thank you for awesome compliment! We are glad you enjoyed our videos and we hope to bring you more in the future. See you in the air sometime. Fly Good, Land Gooder!
I love Jekyll Island. It's a fantastic place to fly to. My wife and I stopped by for a day trip after a long weekend in St Augustine. And we knew we had to come back. We were there over memorial day weekend and had a great time. We will return. It doesn't look like you got to driftwood beach. It's in between the pier and ocean view beach. Next time check that out. It's weird but cool weird.
I love this place and I will definitely go back. I did not make it to driftwood beach or to shark tooth beach but that just gives me another reason to visit there. I'm glad you had a great time while you were there. Was it busy on that holiday weekend you went?
@@j2pov where we went we didn't notice it being very busy. Except for the one time we went into the central area where the shops and the Westin was. And even that wasn't awful. We mostly stayed away from that.
The FBO does not charge to park the plane. If you just want use a cart to run into town and eat, they have courtesy carts for you. They have a 4 hour rental and a 24 hour rental. I used the cart for about 6 hours and they only charged me the $90 4 hour fee. They were very nice about it. I believe the 24 hour rental for a 2 person is 130 but they have 6 person carts as well, I’m just not sure of that fee

Small world that these things all fit together at the right time. Glad you enjoyed the video! Fly good Land Gooder!
I live in Appleton. We go down to Jekyll every March and have for years. Funny! Hope you enjoyed EAA.

Great narrator! Very informative, Looks so inviting. Thanks, I subscribed.
We are glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and subscribing
I live nearby...I've heard the Amphitheatre is nice to visit, especially for musicians.
I wasn't familiar with the Amphitheater on the Island. I guess that's 2 things to add to the list now. Thank you
Great video of this couple sitting in their airplane looking out at the view 😂😂
Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it
You should check out Southern Soul BBQ at St. Simonds Island someday (KSSI). Great ribs and a nice area to visit. You can usually use their club car.
St. Simon and Brunswick are both on my radar as well. We just decided to go to Jekyll first. Thank you for the restaurant referral though so now I know where to visit when I do go there.

I may have missed seeing it in your video, but next time on Jekyll check out Driftwood beach.

How much to park the plane and for the golf cart rental?

Of course. Happy to help!
