Tybee Island is a barrier island and coastal community located 18 miles off the coast of Savannah. Historic sites abound on the island, including the Tybee Lighthouse, which was originally constructed in 1732 and has been in operation for more than two centuries, considered to be one of America's most intact historic lighthouses. The free-admission Fort Pulaski National Monument preserves the historic military fortifications of the same name, while the Cockspur Lighthouse on nearby Cockspur Island showcases an historic 1855 lighthouse tower. Other attractions include the Tybee Pier and Pavilion, a popular fishing spot and community gathering space, and the McQueen's Island Trail, spanning six miles and offering opportunities for wildlife watching.
