Review & FAQ:
Tybee Island is a small coastal town situated just eighteen miles from the historic area of Savannah. Consistently ranked as one of the country’s top beaches, Tybee Island offers something for almost anyone. The island provides the nearest ocean beach to the city of Atlanta, Georgia. Around the pavilion and the pier at the island’s southern end is the most crowded area of the beach.
This section is also where visitors will find the majority off nightlife, restaurants, and shops. The more historic and less crowded area of the beach is the north end, which includes a fort and historic lighthouse. Tybee Island Map
