South Beach is the most popular beach on Georgia's Tybee Island. It stretches along the island's restaurant and shopping district and is surrounded by bars, hotels, cafes, and stores.
The Marine Science Center and the Tybee Pavilion are located on the oceanfront.
The beautiful, wide sandy beach gets very crowded during the summer, with families sunbathing, playing beach games, swimming in the clear blue waters, and playing all sorts of watersports. There is a lifeguard on duty during the season. While Tybee Island's northern beaches are popular for hiking trails and wildlife, South Beach attracts families because of its proximity to shops and restaurants.
