Feed Your Shopping Feeding Frenzy - Enjoy the Many Jekyll Island Shopping Options

If shopping is in your blood, then fear not - Jekyll Island shopping opportunities abound.

The shops of the Beachside Shopping Center have been moved up the road to a temporary site due to the ongoing revitalization projects, but they're still accessible and open for business.

At the renovated cottages and out-buildings of the Historic District, you'll find something for everyone on your list. And don't forget YOU!

From natural fish baits to beautiful hand-wrought works of art, Jekyll Island shops will surprise and delight you. So grab that shopping bag and jump right in for your Jekyll Island Family Adventure!

Jekyll Island's premier shopping center located on Beachview Drive just as you enter the island has been torn down to make way for the realignment of the entrance road and the construction of the new Village Center.

Many shops relocated to a temporary site just up the road, on the beach. They'll find new homes around 2012 in the Village Center. But for now...

Need groceries? Try the IGA Supermarket. It's been downsized some because of the move, but they still have everything from food to beach toys.

For fishing licenses or rod and reel rentals, Maxwell's Hardware Store is the place to go. They also rent bikes. As well as selling hardware and other cool stuff. I've bought everything from bicycle tire inner tubes to tire repair kits to Super Glue to beach thingies.

For adult drinks, Jekyll Beverage is Jekyll's only full-service package store, offering beer, wine, and mixers for the party crowd.

Whittle's Gift Shop is your prime Jekyll Island shopping stop for gifts. As Jekyll's oldest gift shop, they provide signature gifts, T-shirts, shells, and more.

Want a quick snack pick-me-up? Stop by Flash Foods anytime, day or night. Grab a deli sandwich, or try a hand-dipped ice cream cone. They also sell beer and ice. The new Flash Foods is located just inside the entrance to Jekyll Island.

Going fishing? The Jekyll Island Fishing Center with their distinctive shark sign out front can meet all your fishing needs, from bait to licenses to ice - even artwork and gifts. Even book a dolphin tour, or a fishing trip. They're located at the Clam Creek Picnic Area, next to the fishing pier.

The old millionaire's cottages and support buildings of the historic Jekyll Island Club have been renovated and turned into delightful shops and restaurants. Try these on for size:

Bird watchers and lovers should take advantage of the Wild Birds Unlimited Nature Shop. They have feeders. They have bird books. Even binoculars. And a section themed towards children.
