A row of white wicker rocking chairs with dark cushions lines the long, blue-floored porch of a historic hotel on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

The historic Jekyll Island Club hotel in Georgia is surrounded by lush green lawns, hedges, and colorful flower beds under a partly cloudy sky.

On St. Simons Island, Georgia, a white lighthouse towers over a decorative gazebo on a grassy lawn under a partly cloudy sky.
