Alligator Viewing Stand at Horton Pond - Tupelo Trailhead
This is a hidden place on Jekyll Island, GA. No signage points in this direction. Jekyll Sandpiper visitors should head north on Beachview Dr you will see the entrance to Villas by the Sea on your right and an unmarked street on the left. Turn left. A short distance down the path is a small parking area. The Horton Pond viewing platform is just steps away. If you are looking for a walk through a maritime forest then try the Tupelo Trail.
On a recent visit we saw a large alligator in the middle of the pond and a baby alligator swimming near the viewing platform. Next to the small alligator is one the several varieties of turtles that live in the pond. Please do not feed the alligators. We've never known anyone to be harmed by an alligator on Jekyll Island, but feeding them is ill advised as it teaches them that humans mean food.

Treasures Every January and February the Jekyll Island Authority hosts Island Treasures. They hide glass globes in public places all over the island. So my sister and I spent a day searching. What a great way for us and our Jekyll Sandpiper Vacation Renters to explore the island.

Birds, Beaches, and Bike Trails - Cycling on Jekyll Island
Cycling in the Oaks Whether riding beneath the Spanish Moss-draped oaks, peddling alongside the sandy beach, or pulling up to Horton Pond to try to catch a glimpse of an alligator, you'll find plenty of natural beauty as you tour the island. Cycling is a great way to see the island's sights while you get some exercise.
