Tybee Island, Georgia

Just 18 miles east of Savannah, Tybee Island is Georgia’s favorite beach escape — wide sandy shores, the iconic lighthouse, fresh seafood straight off the boat, and a laid-back coastal spirit that is impossible not to love. Here is everything you need to make the most of your Tybee visit.

🚗 18 Miles from Savannah ⏱️ ~30 Min Drive 🏖️ Atlantic Ocean Beaches 🏠 Tybee, GA 31328 🦬 Wildlife · Kayaking · Ghost Tours

Tybee Island sits at the mouth of the Savannah River where it meets the Atlantic Ocean — a barrier island of wide beaches, salt marshes, and tidal creeks that has been drawing visitors for over a century. The island is small enough to explore in a day but rich enough to fill a week. Rent a bike and pedal from the lighthouse at the north end to the main beach at the south end. Paddle a kayak out to uninhabited Little Tybee Island. Watch the sun set over the marsh from a waterfront deck with a cold drink in hand. Tybee moves at its own pace — and that is exactly the point.

These Tybee Island restaurants are listed in no particular order. Hours and availability may vary by season — we recommend calling ahead for larger parties. If you have a restaurant to recommend, contact us.
