Review:
Tybee Island is one of Georgia's barrier islands and a popular coastal retreat near Savannah. The Georgia island is famous for its wonderful, wide sandy beaches. One of the most famous is South Beach, with a lively pier that stretches far into the ocean as well as a picnic pavilion. On its northern end, the island features Fort Screven, 19th century gun batteries, as well as the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum.
The lighthouse was built in the 18th century and is still functioning. The museum, located in Battery Garland, tells the story of the local history. This combination of history, magnificent natural beauty, and Southern hospitality make Tybee Island a popular family vacation destination.
