As its name implies, this beach on Jekyll Island is littered with twisted oak and pine trees that have eroded and decayed over time. Their gnarly branches and curled-up trunks juxtaposed against the white sand make for an interesting backdrop for sightseers and photographers, especially at sunset. Despite being considered a "graveyard for trees," this beach is incredibly beautiful and scenic. However, the water can be quite muddy, so it is not the best area for swimming.
