Tybee Island Adventures

If you are looking to relax and recharge or if you are looking for adventure, try Tybee Island, Georgia.
Nestled east of Savannah, Georgia in the Atlantic Ocean, this quaint, laid back island is a treasure in today's fast pace world.
The island has one grocery store located near the south end of the island. There are couple convenience stores located on along Highway 80 (mid island). Lots of great restaurants! Several souvenir shops located in different areas of the island. Bands play at a couple of the restaurants near the pier on some nights. To get a really good feel and view of the island, you can rent bicycles or golf carts.
Normally,
I try to plan my vacation in the off season, but one year my husband and
I were
there in July and it was so hot. We would sleep late, lunch at local
restaurants, and tour some shops during the afternoon. Then we would
walk
around town and the beach beginning at
Tybee Island Jewelry and Prints
At
different times of the year, especially on the south end of the island, you can
find sand dollars and starfish in abundance! I prefer to save the starfish and
sand dollars by helping them back into the deeper water!
The ocean shares its
treasures of seashells with the flow of the tides. Who knows, you may even find pirate treasure . Tybee is noted for its pirate history.
If you keep an eye on
the ocean, you will see dolphins, cargo ships, and boats.
If you are lucky enough to be at the island on a full moon, you will experience the beauty of the moonlight glistening on the ocean waves. It is such an inspirational sight!
You
will want to tour the Tybee Island Light Station and
The ocean winds are perfect for kite flying. If you are more adventurous, you can try parasailing!
Of course, Savanna is only about 12 miles away if for some crazy reason you need to get a taste of the busy city life!!!
