Tybee Island is Savannah's beach playground. Only a short 20-minutedrive away, Tybee is a paradise under the sun boasting five miles of sandy public beach with ancient sand dunes in the back covered with golden sea oats. The views are spectacular everywhere you go, and there is no end to the fun - you can take part in sunbathing, fishing, sailing, boating, hiking, biking, eating, drinking, or doing absolutely nothing under the shade of an umbrella. There is a lot to see in this 22 square mile area covered with old maritime forests. Don't miss historic Fort Screven area with the scenic Tybee Lighthouse, learn about the island history at Tybee Museum, take the kids to Fort Pulaski to get a sense of the turbulent past of the country and enjoy wonderful restaurants, beach bars and cafes, and sunsets to die for. We love the oceanfront Hotel Tybee for a weekend stay.
