Until today, I hadn’t been to Jekyll Island, Georgia in more than 20 years. I did an hour long bike ride of the trails there and took this photo of what’s now called the Jekyll Island Resort Club. In the late 1800s it was a playground of the wealthiest Americans. Before that Spanish explorers first came to the area in the 1500s, and there were Native Americans living there before that.
According to Wikipedia; “Scenes from the films X-Men: First Class, Glory, The Legend Of Bagger Vance, Jekyll Island, and The View From Pompey’s Head have been filmed on Jekyll Island. On October 27, 2014, Red Zone Pictures filmed here for Magic Mike XXL (2015), starring Channing Tatum. ”
