Santiago Rodriguez best-worst

What surprised you most about Jekyll Island?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a college student here and The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Worth the trade-offs? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in South for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The weather scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
