Travel writer and author Kathleen Walls joins Big Blend Radio’s "Vacation Station Travel" Podcast to explore the fascinating history, natural beauty, and modern-day appeal of Jekyll Island, Georgia.
Once an exclusive winter retreat for America’s wealthiest families, Jekyll Island is now a state park destination offering historic hotels and cottages, scenic biking trails, wildlife encounters, cultural tours, and seasonal events. Kathleen shares insights into the island’s Gilded Age past, its transformation into a public treasure, and why it remains a favorite for both day trips and extended stays.
From turtle conservation and nature programs to high tea, holiday celebrations, and coastal dining, this episode highlights what makes Jekyll Island a truly unique Southern travel experience.
