Not crowded but plenty to see and enjoy

If you like Hilton Head, polo shirts and golf, you'll hate it.
In a nutshell
Small & quaint, not too tourist-y!
anaisdreams Says: The Crab Shack on Tybee island has a very eclectic clientele!The very best views of the water on the island with an incredible outdoor seating area- you must see to understand!Now they have live alligators in a habitat on the vast waterfront property.Great drinks and...
dustmon Says: This really is the best thing happening in Tybee. I love lighthouses and this one is a fine example----costs about $6 to go up to the top, but the views of the beach and surrounds are great! There's a little museum at the bottom with some info on the past and such.178 steps...
dustmon Says: This is the closest beach to the Atlanta area, and therefore gets alot of weekenders from there. In my opinion, it might be worthwhile going a little further to find a better beach. It is usually pretty crowded, and gets a lot of litter left on the sand, so watch where you...

deaglos Says: Great site girls really enjoyed looking around.Area is pet friendly so Ginger enjoyed also.A Turning Point in Military HistoryIn the days before the Civil War, brick forts were America's main defense against overseas enemies. In one two-day battle during the Civil War, new...
Take a customized Dolphin & Eco Cruise

Sweet Lowland Tours Dolphin Eco Tour
807Wheaton Says: Captain Harvey Farrell picked us up for our Dolphin Eco-Tour. He has lived here all his life and is doing tours in his retirement. He explained the reason that Tybee Island has the cleanest water in the area - the tides rise over 8 feet here. He also pointed out the oysters...

grandmaR Says: Under constructionI am not sure whether it was just for the opening of the newly renovated lighthouse or not, but I think we were told that our ticket included admission to the museum in the fort.In 1855, Fort Screven was ordered built on the North end of Tybee to provide a...

The Tango: This place is a MUST visit place!
Azonie Says: Oh wow, how can I describe everything that is good about the Tango..Absolutely EVERYTHING! The ambiance, the food, the service, the FOOD! Everything is great at the Tango..Sadly they don't have a website yet but they SHOULD..The Tango has dishes from about 10 or 12 different...
The Crab Shack: Best seafood in a while
deaglos Says: Such a wonderful place, the girls also loved it. The have a nice moat area filled with live gators for people to feed. The patio area is pet friendly (so pup got to eat with us) and there are many cats running around that are all well fed. Everything.
807Wheaton Says: We popped in here for lunch and saw that they had a special. We each got something different; I got the pork chops, rice and green beans, my husband got the meatloaf and potatoes and green beans. There were two huge pork chops on my plate when it arrived. They were golden...
The Crab Shack: It Might Make You Crabby
kattylynn Says: We decided to go out to dinner and left around 7 in the evening. We had to drive a good 30 minutes to make it out to The Crab Shack. We missed the sign the first time and had to turn around to get back to it. As we drove down the road towards the restaurant, we noticed the...
The Sugar Shack: Lousy service and bad ice cream
Calliehan Says: The cashiers were a couple of tough-talking guys. The elderly couple in front of us had asked to taste a few things and were a little indecisive, but not extremely so. When they had finally made a selection the said--and I kid you not--"Cup, cone, or on your head?"When it...
weebrie Says: Tybee Islanders love to share their island with outsiders, and are the friendliest folks you are ever likely to meet. But one way to get on their bad side - and fast - is to throw your trash on the beach. Tybee is a barrier island with a lot of wildlife and natural habitat...
ChicagoHeidi Says: There is plenty of parking in the beachfront parking lots. It's only $3 for the first hour and then a $1 more each hour thereafter. There are meters for every single available parking spot on the island and for $.25, you get about 15 minutes or so. You can load up the meter,...
weebrie Says: Secure your belongings! Especially during holidays and crowded times, things can get stolen from cars. This was primarily the result of a particular group recently, but it doesn't help to get the warning out - don't leave valuables in full view in your parked car.
Nothing terribly "corporate" on this island
weebrie Says: A bag to carry down to the beach is helpful, but if you forget grab one at Christi's or Chu's. Coolers are handy, but remember, NO GLASS on the beach. Flip flops - the pavement gets hot in the summer. The spring and fall weather is nice during the day, but if you plan to be...
ChicagoHeidi Says: Pretty, gorgeous, eh, but kinda stinky. Stayed just long enough to get some good shots. There are little parking areas right off of 80, which leads to Tybee Island, GA. Just stop and walk and you'll run right into the South Channel. There are signs that say "No Pets," just...
weebrie Says: You can find your basics at Chu's on Tybrisa, all of your beach gear at any of the many shops, and a small grocery store off of Butler (IGA). But if you need anything more substantial, head off of the island and you will run into a WalMart and a Publix (I believe) right off...
