Kick off your shoes and relax. With five miles of uninterrupted public beach, you can stroll, swim or snooze to your heart’s content. The fish are jumping. The dolphins are playing just a hundred yards out. And you’re drinking a cold one without ever leaving your beach chair. Life is almost too good here.

Just a few miles east of Historic Savannah, Georgia, Tybee Island will tempt you with its eclectic style, thriving natural habitat, and easy-going personality. Kids love it, too.

Watch the shrimp boats scoop up delicious Georgia shrimp, just in time for dinner that night. Ride a bike on the hard-packed sand as enormous cargo ships glide on the edge of the horizon. Climb to the top of our historic 1773 Lighthouse and see the world like never before.

There are no high-rise condos to block your view. Just plenty of charming, colorful cottages, palm trees, unusual local shops, eateries and galleries to fit your mood. And flip-flops are the only must-have accessory. Getting around is easy too. You can walk, drive, rent a bike or even a scooter.

Our laidback island life will make you feel right at home.

NATuRAL THINGS TO DO

The Beaches North Beach is home to the lighthouse and is ideal for watching international cargo ships on their way to the Port of Savannah. South Beach is where you’ll find surfers, the Pier & Pavilion, restaurants, bars and shops. And there are miles of accessible beaches in-between.

North Beach Bird Sanctuary Tybee is one of the best places in Georgia to bird-watch. And the kinds of birds change with the tides. From Black Skimmers and Brown Pelicans to Red-throated Loons and Buffleheads, you’ll be amazed. You may even spot Tybee’s official bird, the Painted Bunting.

Little Tybee IslandAccessible only by boat or kayak, this pristine, uninhabited nature preserve is home to an end-less, unspoiled beach of driftwood, native shells and crabs. From subtropical forest to protected marshes and estuaries, you’ll see all kinds ofnative coastal birds including egrets, herons and ospreys. Camping, guided tours, and charters are available. See p. 12 & 13 for more info.

Tybee Marine Science CenterExperience local and tropical marine life that you can even reach out and touch in the popular “touch tank.” Want to learn more about the island’s thriving natural habitat? Sign up for a Beach Discovery Walk led by a marine expert. 912.786.5917

ACTIvE THINGS TO DO

FishingDrop a line off the pier, in the surf or along the Back River. Looking for a bigger catch? Check out our deep sea or in-shore charters or rent your own boat. Tybee is great for crabbing too. If you’d rather order off the menu, you can always buy fresh local seafood island-wide.

KayakingImmerse yourself in Tybee’s coastal wildlife, armed with just a paddle, a kayak and a personal guide. Beginners, families and experts welcome.visit Little Tybee’s nature preserve and play with the dolphins in their natural habitat. See p. 12 for rental info.

1- 8 7 7- 3 4 4 - 3 3 6 1 | 3

Surfing, Jetskiing & WatersportsGet amped on a shortboard or longboard. Maximize airtime on a kiteboard. Or make some waves on a jetski. The best times are mid to high tide. See p. 12 for rental info.

Biking & WalkingOur humble island is only about 3 miles long so it’s easy to bike it or hoof it. The hard-packed sand is ideal and the views are spectacular. Don’t miss the Rails to Trails crushed-stone path along Hwy 80 — great for biking, hiking and bird-watching. See p. 13 for bike rental info.

INTERESTING THINGS TO DO

Tybee Museum & LighthouseCan you climb 178 steps to the top? Tour Georgia’s oldest, tallest lighthouse. And check out the Museum to learn about this historic, 145-ft. monument that dates back to 1773. 912.786.5801

Fort Pulaski National MonumentCompleted in 1847, this historic fort was defend-ed by the Confederate Army as union forces fired powerful, new cannons from Tybee. You can still see the cannonball holes. 912.786.5787

Tybee Pier & PavilionStroll along the weathered planks and check out the lively scene along the Tybee Island Strand. Spot dolphins. Catch fish. Or grab an ice cream. You can also see live concerts, art fairs and other fun events, year-round.

Fort ScrevenEstablished in the 1890s, Fort Screven was the site of troop training during the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II.

Your Savannah is waiting.Just minutes from Tybee Island, Savannah is a unique blend of history, elegance and charm. Stroll 22 graceful public squares designed by General James Oglethorpe in the 1700s. Make a wish at picturesque Forsyth Fountain. Tour the historic Mercer House, made famous by the novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

Everywhere you look, you’ll be reminded why Savannah’s Landmark Historic District is one of the largest in the country. From historic mansions to ghost stories to the world-famous revelry on River Street, it’s no wonder Condé Nast Traveler Magazine named Savannah a “Top 10 American Travel Destination.”

DINING

With award-winning restaurants and famous chefs like Paula Deen, Savannah is becoming just as famous for its food. From casual crab houses to world-renowned steak houses to classic Southern soul food, you’ll never starve for the good life.

ART & CuLTuRE

When a city itself is a work of art, it’s not surprising to find so many art galleries — from funky to sophisticated. Take in an exhibit at the Telfair Museum of Art or a live musical or play. And don’t miss our world-renowned Music and Film festivals.

SHOPPING

Shopping in Savannah is fun and eclectic. From high fashion boutiques and bohemian clothiers to interior design and antique shops, there’s something for every taste.

NIGHTLIFE

From laid-back blues clubs and chic rooftop lounges to sultry jazz and dessert bars, the night is never long enough. There’s even karaoke and salsa and swing dancing.

FAMILY FuN

See why families love kicking back in Savannah. Take in a riverboat cruise or trolley tour. Indulge in homemade ice cream at Leopold’s. And enjoy the historic Roundhouse Railroad Museum. Girls of all ages like the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, who founded the Girl Scouts. And do sample a free praline — a Savannah signature sweet.

Tybee Island, GA has starred in its share of Hollywood films, thanks to our five miles of pristine, natural beaches, historic cottages and funky, laidback vibe.

Renowned directors and movie stars have found Tybee’s authentic Georgia Coast, unique ecosystem and close proximity to Savannah the ideal backdrop for their movies. So you never know when you’ll bump into a star.

Most recently, Tybee Island hosted the cast and crew of “The Last Song” — a coming-of-age drama written by Nicholas Sparks and starring Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear, Kelly Preston and Liam Hemsworth. It was a fantastic experience for Tybee and all the fans who came to watch the shoots.
