Sharktooth Beach on Jekyll Island — Attraction in Georgia

I usually go to South Carolina to hunt sharks teeth until I saw that Jekyll Island had a shark tooth Beach. I was skeptical but it had equally as impressive teeth and fossils as some of the best spots in South Carolina. I was overjoyed and this is a perfect beach for a beginner. Not only were there plenty of teeth, which I recommend going during low tide but there were dolphin everywhere and it was easily the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my entire life. I will definitely be coming back here again.

The walk out to the beach is a little long I think it's about a mile and in the extreme heat, there was not a lot of shade and I could see that being a problem for some people. Be sure to bring plenty of water with you since the walk back takes a while and bring bug spray no matter what time of day you're coming bring bug spray. And definitely check out a sunset in fact the tide was coming in when the sun was setting and the enamel from the teeth was catching the sun going down so it was very easy to spot teeth when the sun was setting. Also if you go to watch the sunset make sure you have a flashlight otherwise it's going to be a long...

Had a nice walk there, plenty of vegetation and natural growth to admire on the way to the beach. There is a small pathway on the left side behind (if I'm remembering correctly) a pine tree, there is a large grouping of cactus there. If you follow the path back (past the cactus) it opens up to a grassy field. Found a community of neat little crabs scurrying around back there. The beach embankment is basically made up if nothing but sea shells- a lot of broken ones, but definitely some awesome ones in there too! The stretch of beach was a bit smaller than I had imagined, but it was still pretty neat. We didn't find any shark teeth when we went (2 hours past high tide), but still had a good time! Do be careful towards the end of the beach where it gets pretty soft ... totally had to yank my shoe outta the ground and rinse it off...

TENNIS SHOES & BUG SPRAY! My husband and I spend a lot of time outdoors so trust me on this. There's no swimming at this beach so wear sneakers - not only for the 2 mile round trip walk from the gate to the beach and back again, but for the mountains of sharp shells when you get there.

The biting flies would not leave me alone so you definitely need bug spray and/or long sleeves and long pants.

We stayed about 30 mins and found 1 tooth and a handful of cool shells. We would have stayed longer if it wasn't for the flies!

There are cool things to be found you just have to be patient. If you're ever near Sarasota, FL, there's a beach called "Manasota" and the amounts of shark and ray teeth there is insane. Unfortunately, that's the experience I thought we were going...
