I have nine states left to visit, but so far Georgia is one of my top three favorites! In May, my husband and I took a trip to Jekyll Island, and it was one of the coolest places I've ever been. The food we had on the island was incredible! That's why I wanted to put together a guide for you of the best restaurants we visited near Jekyll Island.

Corridor Z is located in the Village Beach Center, near The Westin. It has delicious seafood and hushpuppies! I ordered the Wild Georgia Shrimp & my husband, Trey, ordered crab. This meal was the perfect start to our beach day!

My shrimp was $20.50, which was pretty reasonable compared to other restaurants. Plus, I had leftovers too! This spot is great if you'd like to get out of the heat for lunch. You can also stop at the Jekyll Island Market after if you're needing snacks for your stay! It's a short walk from Corridor Z.

TIP: We forgot to bring beach towels on this trip. However, you can find a few souvenir shops that sell them in the same Beach Village Center!

Tribuzio's is a fun place to stop after a round of golf! It's located on the same property as the Jekyll Island Golf Club, which makes it super easy to park your cart and walk over for dinner. I highly recommend going earlier than regular mealtimes. This place can get super busy!

I ordered the Shrimp Scampi here and I was in love! The portion was huge too, so I took a big to-go box of leftovers. My meal was $24, so it is on the pricier side compared to other restaurants in town!

TIP: Check their Facebook page before you visit because they often have live music and post good specials! 

Hungry Crab is located in Brunswick, which is like a 27-minute drive from Jekyll Island. We stopped here after we left the Jacksonville airport.  I loved how big this restaurant was! It was nicely decorated, and I loved how perfect my shrimp boil was!

I ordered the 1/2 lb. shrimp with no head for $12.99 on their lunch menu. It was just the right amount of food for me, especially because it came with a potato & corn!

TIP: If you're looking to make a few meals at your Airbnb or hotel, I'd stop at Walmart before heading to Jekyll Island. They do have a Jekyll Island Market in case you forget any necessities though.

That's a wrap! I hope this list helps you find some delicious spots to grab a bite on Jekyll Island. Please let me know below what else you'd like to know about Jekyll Island! I will continue writing about this beautiful place the next couple months.

My goal is to visit all 50 states, but I'm giving myself no deadline to do it! Georgia was state #41. I found Jekyll Island when I was searching for a pretty hotel on the beach! When I saw the numerous things to do, beautiful Spanish Moss, and golf courses, I knew Jekyll Island would be a good trip. Let's talk about Four Insanely Fun Things to Do in Jekyll Island, Georgia...

Jekyll Island has three 18-hole golf courses.​ We decided to golf at Indian Mound and the course was beautiful. There were stunning lakes and trees. It was a very nice course, and we met a sweet couple who golfed alongside us!

Tip: Head to Tribuzio's Grille after you finish golfing! It sits right next to the golf shop and the food is delicious. I do recommend stopping in early for lunch or dinner. This place gets crowded fast!

Driftwood Beach is an iconic beach you may have seen before. The beach is glittered with gorgeous & crooked old trees. It's a fun experience to duck between limbs and walk the shoreline. We visited this beach at about 9am, which was perfect because there wasn't a big crowd. Many say the sunrise here is beautiful too! This was a fun place to visit and it's a free to visit as well.

24 Coastal is everything you need in a beachfront restaurant: delicious food, pretty views, & friendly service. I ordered the Margherita Pizza, and it was phenomenal. The pizza was $15, but it could easily feed two people or be great for lunch the next day!

Tip: Stay at the Holiday Inn Resort and eat at 24 Coastal whenever you want! 24 Coastal is located on the Holiday Inn property and also serves guests at the pool.

If you're looking for the perfect coffee to sip on while exploring the island, The Pantry is your place! It is a little tricky to find, but the hunt is totally worth it. The coffee shop is located inside the Jekyll Island Club Resort.

It is totally fine to visit this coffee shop even though you're not staying there. We did! After you park and are standing outside by the entrance, take a left and follow the cement path. When you see the door in the photo I have below - walk in! Walk straight across the fancy lobby until you see doors leading to an outdoor patio. Outside you will see people at tables! Walk straight on the patio until you see 'The Pantry' sign.

TIP: Park in The Wharf parking lot (near the water) and walk to The Pantry. It's not a long walk, I promise! Also, order the vanilla latte, it was the bomb. ☕

We loved our time on Jekyll Island in Georgia. I will be posting many more guides soon because let's face it, this place is gorgeous, and I will not shut up about it. I hope this list helps you plan the perfect getaway on Jekyll Island!
