Beach
Tybee Island is about a 30 min. drive from downtown Savannah. Many portions of the beach allow public access, including the quiet North Beach area and the busier South Beach area. The Tybee Island Light Station is home to the iconic lighthouse and renting bikes is an easy way to explore the island! They also have a ton of kayaking or paddle board tours! If you are in the Tybee Island area, eat at Hucapoos (the pizza is great), Sundae Cafe (a dive restaurant with incredible food), or Sea Wolf (hotdogs and fancy cocktails). Fort Pulaski is also on your way to Tybee. It is an old historic fort and worth a stop if you have the time! Park Tyb Mobile App: The Tybee Island mobile parking app makes paying for parking a breeze from your beach chair. Available on the Apple Store and Android Play Store, visitors can download the free PARK TYB mobile app and park anywhere you see Park TYB mobile app signs & decals.
