Tybee Island

Tybee Island lies along Georgia’s Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Savannah River, a low barrier island shaped by broad beaches, salt marshes and tidal creeks. Just east of Savannah, it is one of the state’s best-known seaside communities, where oceanfront activity meets a working estuary and changing tides. The Tybee Island Light Station, on the island’s north end, has long helped guide shipping toward the Savannah River; its grounds also preserve the lightkeeper’s cottages. Nearby Fort Screven recalls the island’s former military role, while the Tybee Marine Science Center interprets the coastal environment.
