The Mysterious Beach of Bleached Trees on Jekyll Island (44 photos + 1 video)

On the north side of Jekyll Island, Georgia's smallest barrier island, lies a quiet and picturesque beach that looks more like an art installation.





This is Driftwood Beach, transformed into a surreal forest world.



Imagine a deserted shoreline dotted with bizarre pine and oak trees. They stand frozen in a silent scream, like sun-bleached sculptures against an idyllic seascape. Some trees lie completely naked, while others seem to sprout from the sand, revealing their skeletons to the world.





This otherworldly beauty is born of the constant work of erosion. The constant impact of the ocean slowly erodes the northern part of the island. Sand and soil, which had undermined the tree roots, gradually migrated south. Deprived of their support, the giants fell and were bleached over decades by sun and salt, transforming into the mesmerizing forms seen today.



Driftwood Beach has now become a favorite spot for photographers and romantics. It's a unique open-air natural gallery, where local couples even get married right among the ghosts of the ancient forest.
