Jekyll Island Wedding Venue
Driftwood Beach weddings
A public beach where the Authority says no permit is needed to marry, and people may walk around your ceremony. Most of it is sea turtle nesting beach, so lights must be amber or red LED between May 1 and October 31. Chairs and an arbor are allowed if you remove them. Check the tide schedule.
