It’s time to get away. Time to feel the sand tickling your feet and the sun warming your soul. Time to pedal a bike through the dunes and climb a historic lighthouse. Time to delight in the local artistry and dine on the local fresh catch. Time to feel a world away knowing Savannah, Georgia, is very nearby. It’s time to Visit Tybee, where you’ll discover the Atlantic Ocean and yourself.

North Beach Bird Sanctuary From aficionados to feathered fans, bird watching is a favorite North Beach pastime. Black Skimmers, Brown Pelicans, RedThroated Loons and Tybee’s official bird, the Painted Bunting, vibrantly color our Island and your visit.
Things To Do, Memories To Make From sunning on the beach to fishing at sea, exploring pristine habitats to discovering historic sites, this is where life-long memories of Tybee Island begin. And while the rhythmic lull of crashing ocean waves is certain to relax you, rest assured, Tybee is also brimming with unforgettable activities. Whether you’re planning a long weekend or a week’s-long stay, you’ll capture moments of pure joy that will make you a Tybee regular in no time.

The Beaches Most commonly referred to as North Beach and South Beach, the five miles of uninterrupted sandy coastline on Tybee Island follow a distinct pace - yours. The historic Tybee Lighthouse can be found on North Beach, while shops, restaurants and the Tybee Pier & Pavilion are located on South Beach. The best part? You’re sure to see and thoroughly enjoy every mile!

NATURAL THINGS TO DO
Little Tybee Island A beautiful escape awaits you on the unspoiled beaches of Little Tybee Island. This pristine, uninhabited nature preserve, which you can only reach by water, is where you’ll encounter subtropical forest, protected marshes and estuaries, rare shells and native coastal birds. Camping, guided tours and charters are available to provide you with a truly unforgettable excursion. Tybee Marine Science Center Creatures of both local and tropical descent are yours to explore at the Marine Science Center. From tactile sensations in the popular “touch tank” to a Beach Discovery Walk all about the Island’s natural habitat, this is where visitors go to get back to nature. 1. 8 7 7. 3 4 4 . 3 3 6 1 | 3
ACTIVE THINGS TO DO
INTERESTING THINGS TO DO
Fishing
Tybee Museum & Lighthouse
For the anglers among us, Tybee Island offers ample opportunity to test your fishing – and catching – skills. Deep-sea and in-shore charters give you the benefit of an expert guide or you can go it alone off the pier or right in the surf. Whatever your speed, you’ll leave with amazing fish tales to last a lifetime.
Towering high above Tybee Island is the historic Tybee Lighthouse. Its 178-step ascent makes it the tallest lighthouse in the state of Georgia, while its founding in 1773 makes it the state’s oldest. An onsite museum chronicles the history of this 145-foot monument beloved for its breathtaking views of Tybee and the Atlantic Ocean.
Kayaking There you are, slowly paddling along, the waters below lapping rhythmically, the expanse of nature’s beauty surrounding you and dolphins nearby at play. It is in that moment you know: this is kayaking at its best. From beginners to experts, you’re sure to feel right at home kayaking in the secluded coast of Tybee. Surfing, Jet Skiing, Paddleboarding & Watersports What’s the best way to experience Tybee? Just dive in! Shortboard, longboard, kiteboard and paddleboard – when the surf’s up so are the adventure seekers. Mid-to-high tides offer the best conditions with ample opportunities to float alongside Tybee’s abundant marine life. Biking & Walking Pack a picnic lunch and wind your way to parts of the island accessible only by bike or foot. Sometimes the simplest things are the most fun and Tybee Island is your ideal spot to pedal around or take a stroll. Be sure to include the Rails to Trails crushed-stone path in your plans for a day that’s as adventurous as it is relaxing.

Fort Pulaski National Monument Your eyes don’t deceive you; those are actual cannonball holes that still remain in the embattled yet resilient walls of this historic monument. Dating back to 1847, the Confederate Army defended Fort Pulaski against the cannonball onslaught of the Union Forces from their Tybee vantage point. Be assured, this is one historic visit that will leave a lasting impression. Tybee Pier & Pavilion The cultural hub of Tybee Island, the grand Pier & Pavilion stretches out over the ocean giving visitors a seaside view of the Island without ever leaving land. Musicians, fisherman, and artists can be spotted on the Pier most any day with special live concerts and fun events also planned year round. Fort Screven With a history that stretches back more than 120 years, Fort Screven is best known for the troops that have been trained there. From the SpanishAmerican War to World Wars I and II, Fort Screven remains a testament to the hundreds who once occupied this historic site.
