Escaping to Driftwood Beach is almost like escaping to another world—one where ancient driftwood trees dot the waterfront.

When you visit the beach, you’ll need to park inland and wander along the sandy pathway to get to the waterfront.

Once you walk the path and reach the end, everything opens up into pure beauty and magic.

The constant erosion from the ocean throughout the years has created a surreal landscape of skeleton-like trees jutting out from the sandy shoreline.

Truly a photographer’s paradise, there is so much magic within this one single beach, you can snap stunning photos for hours.

The beach, also nicknamed the “boneyard”, is littered with gnarled ancient trees and live oaks, all of which have been bleached by the sun and preserved by the salty air.

While this vanishing coastal wonder has been a bucket-list-must for many visitors, locals too, still enjoy the magic that this space provides.

Just meander your way through the living trees, along the sandy pathway, until you reach the stunning Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island.
