Tybee Island

Located to the southeast of Savannah is Tybee Island.  This island contains a beautiful beach and boardwalk area to walk around and just soak in the sun.  The boardwalk has a few restaurants that offer food at reasonable prices.  The "downtown" area though is quite small and only has a few shops and should not be thought of as a place to find tons of stores or restaurants.  You can also find Tybee Island Marine Science Center on the boardwalk, which is a very small aquarium (only three rooms) with some small fish, sea turtle and terrapin specimens.

On the opposite end of the island are some historical places to visit such as the Tybee Lighthouse and Fort Screven, which come with one package price of $7 a person.  If you visit these, please make sure you park in the Lighthouse parking lot for free instead of paying for parking that you see shortly before the Lighthouse.

When you climb to the top of the Lighthouse (178 stairs!), you'll also be rewarded with a beautiful view of Tybee.
