Jekyll Island

Making our way up the Georgia coast, we detoured for a few hours to explore Jekyll Island. Developed as a vacation resort for the east coast elites (Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Goodyears, etc.) in the early 20th century, it's estimated that when the owners were "all in" at the same time that 6% of the world's worth was controlled from this island. They're all gone now, as was everybody else while we were there; I don't know when high season is but it sure as hell ain't now because this place was deserted.

We spent a few lazy hours cruising the island, looking at "cottage" ruins (few people would define these mansions as a cottages) and various beaches, the highlight of which was Driftwood Beach, considered one of the most romantic beaches in the U.S.

This is "romantic" in the same way flowers are romantic... for some reason watching vegetation slowly die makes people think of love.
