Jekyll Island is a barrier island located off the coast of Georgia, United States. The island has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century when it served as an exclusive winter retreat for prominent American families like the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Morgans as part of the Jekyll Island Club.

Today, the island is owned by the State of Georgia and operates as a state park, maintaining a careful balance between preservation and public access. The island's cultural heritage is preserved through its Historic District, which includes the former club buildings and winter "cottages" of America's Gilded Age elite.

Jekyll Island is also known for its natural beauty, featuring pristine beaches, maritime forests, and marshlands. The island's commitment to conservation is evident in its law requiring that 65% of the island remain in its natural state. Various museums and historic sites on the island help tell the story of both its natural and cultural heritage, from Native American history to the island's role in the development of modern banking.
