Come See Where Savannah Let’s Her Hair Down!
Tybee Island is a breath of fresh ocean air, located just 18 miles east of Savannah, Georgia. This small barrier island boasts five miles of newly re-nourished public beaches that are backed by sea oat-covered sand dunes. It’s the perfect place for sunbathing, people watching and frolicking in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Nature lovers will enjoy this little slice of paradise while bird watching, taking a dolphin cruise or exploring the marshes by kayak. The island’s south-end pier and pavilion is a splendid venue for strolling above the ocean and listening to the music of live bands.
Although vacationers are lured to Tybee mainly because of what it provides in the way of recreation and relaxation, those with a love of history will be pleased as well. Tybee offers: Fort Screven, The Tybee Island Lighthouse (dated 1773), with its own museum, and Fort Pulaski which is just west of the island on Hwy 80.
While Tybee is a resort including a full range of restaurants, and hundreds of affordable accommodations, it is also a residential area with a few thousand of the friendliest, most fun-loving locals you’ll ever meet. Get to know Tybee and come see what Miley Cyrus, John Mellencamp and Sandra Bulloch have discovered. Tybee Island – Voted “Best Beach” by the readers of Georgia magazine.
