1303 November 1, 2025 Biking On The Beach

Tim and I each set out on separate walks this morning.

I walked from the campground and onto the paved path.  From there. I took the sandy trail to Driftwood Beach.

I saw this couple getting ready to say their vows.

I walked back to the main trail and that took me across to Clam Creek.  I saw Tim approaching from the other direction.

It was a great 3-mile walk.  I was able to quicken my pace today.  It is taking longer than I anticipated to get back to my pre-injury speed, stamina, and endurance…but I am making progress!

After breakfast, Tim out our bikes on the Jeep and we drove to Oceanview Beach.  We took our bikes and went down the ramp and onto the sand.  We cycled 3.5 miles to the end of the island.  It was so freeing and such a delightful gift to be able to bike on the shore.  The wind was at our backs and the hard packed sand was smooth.  Tim chose to stay at the water’s edge and I biked at the high tide line. 

Tim carried our bikes up a steep set of steps at the Village.  We looked for a place to have a late lunch.  We decided to travels on the paved path to Tortuga Jack’s.  We sat outside with a view of the ocean.  We had good food and the best atmosphere.

We didn’t need a big dinner and so I took an apple and Tim took lunch leftovers and we drove to Saint Andrews Beach.

It was high tide and so the beach was tiny.  We walked as far as we could. 

Ghost crabs.

We climbed onto the observation platform and sat.

We walked the Wanderer Memorial Path.  This ship brought more than 400 African people to Jekyll Island in 1858. 

We drove to Riverview Park where we sat on a bench and watched the sun go down.

Jekyll Island is 7 miles long and 1.5 miles wide.  On our evening drives yesterday and today we saw a total of more than 20 deer, 7 racoons, and an armadillo!
