Jekyll Island, GA Exit 29:Â Every winter, throughout the months of January and February, the Jekyll Island Authority hosts a beach treasure hunt known as Island Treasures.
Colorful hand-crafted glass floats or globes, similar to the ones once used on fishing nets, are created by glass artisans from across the country. These collectible treasures are hidden daily along the beach for lucky treasure hunters to find.
Each is unique and stamped with the year to be a collector’s item for the lucky beachcomber who finds one. Those who find the lovely glass floats may register them at the Jekyll Island Visitor Information Center in order to receive a bio of the artist and a certificate of authenticity for each found treasure.
This Island Treasures event is FREE and lots of fun for all ages!
