Review & FAQ:
Little Tybee Island is best known as the site of the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics' yachting events, spanning 6,780 acres along the Wassaw Sound.
Though the island is named Little Tybee, it clocks in at over twice the size of its nearby neighbor Tybee Island, which offers a wide variety of developed tourist activities.
Little Tybee Island remains largely undeveloped and protected as a nature preserve, home to large populations of endangered bird species such as herons, egrets, white ibis, and woodstorks. Visitors can access the island seven days a week and enjoy a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities, including chances for fishing, hiking, camping, birdwatching, and beachcombing. A number of charter boat and kayak tour companies operate out of the island, including dolphin tour boats and guided jetskiing opportunities.
