About this film
Part of the EPIC EAST COAST – USA series, this 17-minute travel film follows a visit to Jekyll Island during a journey made in May and June 2022. The island’s past as a retreat for millionaires is part of the story, alongside practical information for visitors and stops at notable coastal locations. The ride is made on a Yamaha Ténéré 700, and the episode balances travel along the road with time spent exploring on the island.
The journey
The route approaches Jekyll Island after the rider’s arrival in Georgia. On the island, the film visits Driftwood Beach, described as one of the Georgia coast’s iconic places, and takes a ride through the historic district, known as the millionaires village. A stay at the Days Inn & Suites Jekyll Island is also included. After leaving the island, the journey sets off again across Georgia in challenging rain, carrying the coastal visit into the next leg of the ride.
