Bike or Drive Clam Creek
Rent a bike and ride the entire island or rent for an hour and ride the Clam Creek Loop adjacent to Driftwood Beach. Clam Creek is an easy, flat, 2 mile ride that usually has several good opportunities for "close to the bird" photography.
Clam Creek is also a great walking trail and it is easy to pull a cart for gear. Our morning sunrise location is right off of this loop.
Cars are allowed on half of the loop and there are plenty of parking spots for photo ops on the road portion.
Click the link below for bike rental info. Reserve and rent a bike from the Jekyll Island Campground location, leave your car at the bike rental and the Clam Creek Loop begins right across the street. The whole island bike ride will begin here also. Might want to ask if bikes with baskets are available for your camera gear.

Driftwood Beach parking is past the Jekyll Island Campground (see bike path map). About 1/4 mile past the campground entrance, there are 8-10 parking spots on the right hand side of the road. Park there. The Clam Creek Loop is across the street. Walk a few feet on it and take a sand path on the immediate right. We'll have markers and members around. BRING A FLASHLIGHT !
Approximate Address of Sunrise Parking:
1169 Riverview Drive, Jekyll Island
Carts? There is about 50 feet of soft sand to maneuver but rest of walk is packed and easy for cart pulling.
If you don't make it for sunrise there are still historic buildings, formal croquet games and lots of excellent photography choices later in the day.
Notes
Sunrise Shoot at Driftwood Beach. Mid-morning Clam Creek Loop and the pier photography. Drive to lunch at 11:30 at Tortuga Jack's. After lunch an island bike ride and/or photography around the historic hotel and homes. Sunset at the pier
