Jekyll Island's Buccaneer Hotel



I uncovered more pictures from our April trip to Jekyll Island. This one isn't the best, but it shows the view from the beach looking back over the dunes at the Buccaneer Hotel. It's against the law to play in the dunes, which give the island a nice undeveloped look. Hotel guests access the beach by using a boardwalk. It's the same way one Tybee Island.

Yesterday's AJC had a aerial photo of the Buccaneer, showing the cleared land next door where another hotel used to be. There's the beginning of a big squabble, as governing officials gave a ten million dollar tax break to developers poised to build luxury high-rise hotels...out of the price range for the majority of Georgians and a violation of Georgia law.
