A Local's Guide

Tybee, off the postcard.

The dolphin tour we recommend most often. Guaranteed sightings, restrooms onboard, and a route past the lighthouse and Fort Pulaski. Book the late-afternoon run for golden-hour light on the water.

Beach Tour

A guided beach walk that turns into a treasure hunt. The team teaches you what to look for — black, triangular, glinting in the sand — and most groups go home with a pocketful of shark teeth and a megalodon story. Great with kids.

Shuttle

The friendliest way to get around the island when you'd rather not drive. Pre-book if you've got a group heading to dinner or the pier — they'll pull right up to our front door.

Charters & Tours

Out on the water.

Dolphin tours, sunset cruises, and private fishing charters. A few of the captains we send guests to most often.

Cart Rentals

Tybee runs on golf carts in season. The local-est way to see the island — easy parking, short drives, and a breeze through your hair. Reserve ahead in summer; the fleet goes fast.

Historic Site

Fifteen minutes by car, and a different century when you walk through the gate. Civil War-era brick walls, marsh trails, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find anywhere else on the island. Plan a slow two hours and bring water.

Lighthouse & Museum

178 steps and Georgia's oldest lighthouse rewards you with the whole island laid out beneath you. The ticket includes both keepers' cottages and the museum across the street — easily a half-day for the history-minded.

Water Sports

In the water.

Surf lessons, parasailing, jet skis, and kayaks. The way to spend an afternoon when the tide is right.

More to do.

A handful of favorites here — Tybee has many more. Pier walks, paddleboard rentals, kite festivals when the wind’s right.
