Jekyll Island Beach Trip

[@janetsherwood7210]

Beautiful shots of nature Corie & Austin. Thanks for taking us along. God bless you! 🌿🌴🦀☀️

I love Jekyll and the surrounding area. It is for sure a family friendly part of the world. Sea Turtle Center, Millionaires's Village, Horton's Pond, Horton House, Driftwood Beach, St. Simons Lighthouse, Faith Chapel, Christ Church, and all are really neat. (I see y'all went to Barbara Jean's.) Georgia is not known for crystal clear water. We have 5 rather large rivers dump into the water at the coast. This sends a bunch of sediment downstream. Not good looking water but great for shrimp and wildlife. It is a grade off. Those are resurrection ferns. They are cool. They will "die" during droughts but "resurrect" when it rains. Georgia has a cool maritime forest. Back in the day, the US Navy got most of its timbers to build the old wooden sailing ships from Live Oaks on the Georgia Coast. Georgia has one of the greatest range in tides from high to low in the nation. Most of Georgia's coast is actually protected and the area has been protected for quite a while. I am a Georgia Mountain boy but love my home state's coast line too. When you go back, book a trip to Cumberland Island and/or Sapelo Island. Just go over for the day. Try the Driftwood Bistro. They have wonderful food too. If you ever see the movie "Glory", most of it was filmed on Jekyll. (When y'all have kids, you'll need a bigger truck and a trailer and an R.V. and a luggage rack and more.)

We ate at Driftwood Bistro and it was my favorite food while I was there. Thanks for sharing, many of those facts I did not know and I find it all very interesting 😁

[@jasonrichards3785]

@@thepressleygirls If you ever go back, take some time to go on down to Folkston, GA and go see the Okefenokee Swamp. That place is absolutely amazing. I am glad you got to eat at The Driftwood Bistro. It is good!

[@jackiemontogmery125]

Thanks Jason for the interesting info about Georgia!

[@sharonneth4231]

Y'all are the cutest couple! I hope you both had a wonderful time!

[@Bluewater9]

Praise God his giving is everything thankful for the sharing of love God bless you and family! 💙

[@annswinton7980]

Excellent video! I have never seen a horseshoe crab, it was huge! Beautiful place, except for the dirty water! I really enjoyed watching ❤

[@ruthanne9914]

Some beautiful camera work, Corie. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your beach time with all of us.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@brendaschenck859]

Glad y’all enjoyed your trip…thanks for sharing it with us…❤

[@FleetStreetBarber765]

Looks pretty 😊 nice island 🏝️

[@markoharoldoronearmedpoohb7816]

A great place in Georgia, my first time there, was 1975, not much there then, now it’s all grown up!

[@c.ranger4748]

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful scenery.

[@susanbeal3253]

Girl I hear ya on that cast iron pan! We always travel with a “kitchen box” with our cast iron pan, favorite skillet, best stock pot, and our favorite utensils and knives 😂 gotta have my essentials! So glad y’all have a great vacation ❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Glad it’s not just me 😂

[@pamjohns1520]

Love Jekyll & SSI…..big fan of Barbara Jeans also. Glad you got to enjoy the Georgia coast & all its beautiful wildlife.

[@jillwilson1453]

I want to go there just to see those woods. That's Amazing.

[@Eric_L_Laney]

Great place to visit. I photographed a wedding there a few years ago, and also an engagement photo session. I live in Hudson, NC, by the way. It’s about 10 miles North of Hickory, and just South of Lenoir. My parents grew up here. They moved to Florida before I was born. I grew up in Florida. My dad passed away to Heaven in 2007, and then my mom passed away to Heaven this past November. So, 3 months ago I moved up here after many years of visiting extended family. I enjoy your videos. I appreciate your values. Jekyll Island had a lot of driftwood on it in the area where I photographed the wedding, and I see you were close to that driftwood toward the end of your video. Yes, you’re right. It’s like going through a little forest, and then voila, you’re at the beach.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@gregkerr725]

Great video...brought back some good old memories. Thanks!, and God Bless you both as well!

[@gregkerr725]

I haven't been to Jekyll since the 80's but I enjoyed the few times I've been there. Of course in my opinion it's not beach to swim off of. Lots of tidal backwash from all the tannin stained bay waters. Walking the beach was always neat. The live oaks were awesome. All the old millionaires homes were interesting.

[@dr.aconian3208]

The trees grow that way because of the wind coming off the ocean, great video!

[@raymondmiller5098]

Glad you had an enjoyable time at the beach. Not many things more serene than the ocean!

[@user-dw3tb2qy4v]

What a beautiful state! You and Austin make a very handsome couple... Love you both dearly ❤❤

[@junelovvorn3221]

I enjoyed this video very much. I've never been to Jekyll island but it is Beautiful. I loved the walk through the woods getting to the beach. Never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.

[@terryfinley7760]

Great video guys! Isn’t our world so beautiful?! The coastal forest is so unique and special. In South Carolina, Hunting Island and St Helena Island are beautiful in the same way.

[@kaybaker3588]

Beautiful! Red sky at night. Sailor's delight.

[@othepines]

The Ocean Cleanup is on a mission to clean our oceans and they're trying to focus on the rivers that empty into the oceans. It's sad the amount of pollution. That is a neat beach area 😊

[@lizzymoore54]

We live an hour away from Jekyll. Beautiful place and much more modern than when we use to go for summer fun. Doesn’t even look the same but I’m an old lady, so this was long ago. I liked it because of it’s wild quality. It doesn’t even look the same to me now. The horseshoe crab is desired for it’s blood ( by science ),and is relative to the spiders, ticks and scorpions. We would go to Driftwood Beach mainly and the trees sticking out of the sand is an eerie experience and other-worldly almost. Private ( at the time ) and secluded with horseshoes, dolphins, schools of fish and of course…sharks. 🕷️🦂🦀🐬🐠🪼🦐🦞🦑🐙🐡 I see you made it to Driftwood Beach and I pray you enjoyed your trip! 😊

[@buffy32684]

I used to live not too far from there and went there all the time. It’s one of my favorite places.

[@CARLEAN61]

Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve never been there. Beautiful

[@Suleclo]

What a beautiful place for a vacation! I love the Atlantic (better than the Gulf) and the Spanish moss is wonderful. My sister and family are going to St. Simons island next week. Thank you for sharing!

[@tylerforrester1741]

Awesome trip, thank you for sharing!!

[@joygibson806]

She says, “Hey, little guy!” I would have been screaming!” LOL!

[@lorettataylor9902]

Beautiful ❤😊thanks for sharing your vaccination 😊

[@sallypriest4363]

When I lived in Waycross as a child, we would go to Jekyll Island and St. Simon’s Island when we wanted to go to the beach. Thanks for taking me back! The still shots of the two of you are beautiful❣️

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@lubovlubov3635]

You are so good people. God bless you

[@saner6888]

What a gorgeous destination! Beautiful shots, loved the fishing too… hey Austin you told Corie you had something to tell her people… buddy by now we’re your people too💛! Thanks for sharing☀️

[@earlshaner4441]

Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures

[@christinej2358]

Corie and Austin that was a great video of y’all’s vacation! I’ve never heard of that beach and it is so pretty. Austin that was a big flounder you caught and I know it was good eatin too. Corie you got a lot of beautiful pictures too. Thanks for sharing with us! Glad y’all made it back home safe.

[@deniseheins2133]

Okay, we have been to literally every island from Isle of Palms to Amelia Island but haven't been to Jekyll yet. I'm putting it on priority after this video! Just lovely.

[@smc130]

You two are so precious! Continue being good to each other and enjoy each other’s company.

[@karenmikasko7148]

Georgia is so beautiful, thank you for taking us on this journey....reminds me of Willie Nelson singing that song. Love those trees with the moss...

[@lindamaldonado6807]

I totaiiy agree!

[@people_watcher]

I haven't watched the entire video yet but wanted to say thank you and Austin for sharing your vacation before you get inundated with comments. I love your channel , enjoy all of you, Katie, nick, Tipper, Matt, granny, you and Austin. Keep living life the way you do. Virtual hugs and much love from Clearwater, Fl

❤️😁

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

Very beautiful place with the Grove and long raised walkway!!

[@ltlt3477]

That place is GORGEOUS!!! Thank you both for sharing it with us!!! I also had no idea that horseshoe crabs got that big🦀🦀🦀😱!! Wooowzers!!

[@user-ef2se7hs2b]

Wow.... So beautiful!! I'm jelly... Lol.

[@carlapickard6579]

I have never seen a driftwood beach before. Those shots were beautiful! Glad you and Austin had a great week.

[@lissahenry6751]

Wow, I’ve never seen a horseshoe crab that big!

[@Psalmonetwentyone]

Great video! Loved the 360 degree shot on the walkway with the sunset over the woods. Beautiful! So glad you both had a good time. God makes such beautiful artwork for us to enjoy and you two take the time to appreciate it. 🐢🦀🐚

[@josiecardenas4440]

What a beautiful place and so peaceful thank yous both for take us along stay safe.

[@SittinNBitchin]

I absolutely love Jekyll Island. Ive been there several times. The Saint Simons Pier is the first place that I ever saw a dolphin in real life. Im so glad that you guys had a nice vacation.

[@marisueharves3493]

So excited that you enjoyed Jekyll Island! The island has been a favorite destination of my mother's side of the family (uncles, aunts, & cousins) for years! I've never been there, but the family has shared wonderful memories of their Jekyll Island visits. Sadly, they couldn't go this year due to health reasons, but hopefully they will make it there next year to carry on the family tradition!

[@suzannemiller5743]

What a beautiful place to vacation! I had a vacation there several years ago and loved it! Thanks for sharing your beautiful vacation with us! Glad you and Austin had some time off together. God bless

[@biffboffo]

I bet Olive had a lot to say when you got home!

[@thepressleygirls]

She did 😁

[@PepperplacewithShawna]

Thanks for sharing!❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@ashleyi7911]

Jekyll is probably one of y most favorite places on earth, though I haven’t been to a lot of places. It’s the mixture of nature and beach for me. It’s so laid back, slower paced, and there’s so much cool history. For a smaller island there’s SO much to see and do. And you guys stayed in my dream spot, the cottages. They are gorgeous and I’ll be ecstatic when we can stay in them one day. Thanks for taking us along 🩵

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching friend, hope y’all are doing good 😁

[@dianekelbaugh4731]

What a beautiful vacation spot! Gorgeous sunsets and enchanting Spanish moss. Love it!

[@D.J.R63]

Great video! It’s beautiful their

[@paavoviuhko7250]

I love this video. So many unknowns and unfamiliars to me. The way you sandbag for support of your tarp. Amazing. I never knew. I think Austin was wearing the same booties I have, if they're Merrells. I can't believe you have to climb uphill to get to the beach. I love it. But the Ospreys. I live in an osprey nesting area so I am familiar with them and have been attacked by them a couple of times. Many happy years to both of you. You guys are a blessing to me.

[@PatPace-hk9yd]

Reminds me of Hunting Island. Beautiful.

[@johnnymayo8534]

Tks for sharing ur vacation w/ us!! Not gonna lie....it just looked hot & humid!! lol

[@thepressleygirls]

It really was 😂

[@margaretevans1934]

It looked really lovely although it was a shame the sea was a bit grim. I knew it was an osprey by the call. I watch lots of osprey nests here in the U.K, on KZbin. We wait for them to start arriving in March, all the way from Africa. We see them re-establish their pair bond and lay their eggs. The osplets are so funny like little puff balls with a wobbly head. Now they are all fledging, learning to fish and building up their stamina for the flight back to Africa. It is amazing that these new ospreys know where to go and even more amazing when they return in two to three years time, the males always come back to the natal nest but the females scatter. I expect it keeps the gene pool healthy. Amazing birds. I love the spanish moss dripping from the trees, it reminds me of Gone with the Wind. I love beaches where you walk through the trees and out onto the sand. I was lucky enough to go to Zante this year and we had an olive grove against the sand. Glad you both enjoyed it.

[@jobearor2525]

I love flounder.

[@sherikellyblair2262]

Corie, the ferns growing on the tree are called “resurrection ferns.” They dry up in dry weather, and come back out when it rains. Jekyll is such a beautiful place! I spent many summers there in my childhood. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[@user-ej1it4qh1d]

I loved the sunset and hearing the waves in the evening. 🧡

[@larlar8580]

Corie - that was a beautiful video - those sunset shots and the ones of you and Austin would be gorgeous to frame for your home. Just beautiful!!❤

[@Trey-Jones]

That was a beautiful place, glad y’all had a great time. We usually go to Tybee island when we go to Fort Stewart to see my son. And yes, that Southeast Georgia hot air is like swamp soup.

[@thepressleygirls]

Swamp soup, I like that 😂

[@mamawfrancy]

Corie & Austin, I just discovered your older fun filled beach trips. 😮😎 I will be watching till I've seen them all. Love your style & beautiful inclusive photography.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them 😁

[@bobbyblair1084]

Have fun you guys.

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Congratulations Austin. 👏 That was a beautiful Flounder. Thank you both for sharing your beach trip with us. Hugs and God bless ❤🙏❤️

[@svalbard01]

If you don't start your own fractional reserve banking system while you're there... you're not doing it right! LOL. 🤣

[@ramonahierholzer3163]

The ferns that you saw, growing on the trees, are known as Resurrection Ferns. When it is dry they will turn brown and shrivel up. Once it gets wet again they will green right back up. They can stay brown and dormant for 50 years, snd still resurrect into beautiful green again, with water. Cool! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Wow ❤️

[@janetsarlo8976]

Absolutely gorgeous ! CORIE & Austin ,What a blessing to a beautiful Video!! Great catch Austin! The pictures of the two of you are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for Showing your Vacation ! It was a blessing to seeing a place you heard about but never seen. God bless you both.

[@meltcmelinda4012]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, scenery was beyond words. thank you for sharing your vacation. I know Olive was happy to see you!!

[@janh519]

Corie and Austin, I have enjoyed your vacation video tremendously! The Georgia coastline is beautiful! My husband and I enjoyed beach vacations so much and it wasn’t really a vacation to us unless we had been to a nice beach along the U S coastline! Also, aren’t those seafood meals the most delicious ever?!!! You two look so “at home” there and you have started your lives together by choosing great beach vacations each year! God bless you both and also your families! ❤️

[@cindyjames4201]

enjoyed that!

[@tonisangel5024]

Jekyll Island sure is a beautiful place so glad y'all got away and had a blast! Next time ya'll should come visit us here in Florida ya'll you'd love the gulf beautiful thereck out long boat key!! And the best beach ⛱ is New Smyrna beach cute little town the beach is nicer than Daytona but you'd really love long boar key the water is so clear and you can walk out pretty far and your still up to your knees a family trip there with your mama and dad and Katie its beautiful you can Google it and see pictures!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Love the Georgia beach. It’s different in an amazing way than other coast lines. Louisiana & Texas. Glad You had A great vacation.

[@luvyourchannel923]

I love wood ❤

Never been to Jekyll Island, but used to go to Tybee Island (near Savannah). Looks like you had a good time on Jekyll, thanks for taking us along 😊

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@janitorman1965]

That’s it you talked into it next time I get a week or so off I’m heading east to a Georgia beach. Thank you for sharing.

[@thepressleygirls]

[@patevans3709]

We went to Jekyll Island several times, and the water was never that dirty. We stayed on a different part of the island, and cars did not drive on the beach.

[@davidtanner6834]

Great footage of one of Georgias beautiful golden isles. Thank y’all for sharing your getaway

[@TeressaJ1960]

What a beautiful place that was! It looked more peaceful and serene than most beaches.

[@mirandasummerset]

I forget how beautiful Georgia is sometimes always used to love Savannah, Tybee Island, & Jekyll Island as a kid very peaceful too

[@phyllisarrington7436]

Back when the kids were young, we went to Tybee Island just off the city of Savanah, Georgia. 😊 Its quite a bit north of Jekyll.

[@deewinston5651]

What a beautiful place. It was so interesting to see how those big oak trees were growing right on the beach. I’ve grownup inHouston very near Galveston, Texas, so we’ve been and stayed many times when all our kiddos were young. The Gulf is very muddy from the sand, but when you go a few miles off the beach, the water is blue and beautiful, but not on the beach. So glad you both got to have a little vacation. Thank you for sharing it with us. May God bless you both.❤️🐢🦀🐟

[@lindareinking5326]

Lovely beach and video ❤❤

[@connie6623]

The driftwood is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.

So nice you got to vacation with Austin's family. Looks like you had a wonderful vacation. I'll probably never get to that part of our country, so I really appreciate you sharing your time there. It's beautiful.❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@glockgopop]

"The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G Edward Griffin is one of the most important books ever written. Anyhow hope ya'll had fun!

[@estherpack3612]

I love Jekyll Island and St.Simon Island glad you liked it. Enjoyed your utube video

[@johncarter1137]

Back in the 1970s, there was a telephone communications tower on Jekyll Island that my dad and I worked on several times. It was next to the golf course and in the early mornings there would be wild turkey flocks and deer out on the golf course. I haven't been back there since then, and your video makes me want to go back there on vacation. I don't get to travel much anymore, which makes me sad, because my wife is mobility challenged, so I'm having to do it through you. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Austin needs to start a hunting and fishing channel, I think he would be good at it. God bless!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@kevinknight470]

Thanx for sharing Folks, it's always good to get away from the daily grind. Horseshoe crabs have Blue blood, God bless you two.😃

[@carlahumphrey6258]

The fern growing on the tree is called Resurrection Fern. It grows on live oak trees.😊 It can look completely dry and dead. When it rains it will "come back to life" and be green again

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I love a gas cook top but hate a gas oven,😂. I lived in Savannah for a while. My middle daughter was born there. It’s so beautiful down there but I hated the bugs.😂 We never went down to that beac as we were poor Army folks.

[@dustyroselansall8185]

Austin & Corie - thank you for sharing your vacation time with us and the beauty found there. My husband loved to watch an osprey nest from our living room window via a pair of good binoculars - they are beautiful birds and great fish catchers.
