We Spent a Day on Mid Beach: Here's Why We Love It!

Mid Beach boasts a unique charm thanks to its prime location. Imagine having the lively, eclectic vibe of South Beach on one end, where families, friends, surfers and musicians sprinkle magic in the air, and the tranquil, laid-back ambiance of North Beach on the other, where every sunset is a canvas of breathtaking colors. Mid Beach is the heart of Tybee Island, pulsating with life and offering a perfect balance. Whether you're in the mood to socialize or enjoy serenity, you're just a short walk away from either experience.

After a sun-soaked day, you'll need the perfect place to rest your head. Mid Beach offers accommodations that cater to every taste and budget. If you're bringing the whole crew, Beachside Colony Resort offers spacious condo-style living, a heated on-site pool and immediate Mid Beach access. For a more historical vibe, the DeSoto Beach Hotel (the island's ONLY oceanfront hotel!) or the charming DeSoto Beach Bed and Breakfast are steeped in old-world charm and modern comforts. And if you seek quiet and family-friendly, Royal Palms provides plush accommodations that make you feel pampered and well-rested.

No beach day is complete without good food to break the fast, and Mid Beach doesn’t disappoint. Start your culinary adventure at The Deck Beachbar and Kitchen (also Beachside Colony Resorts onsite restaurant). It's not just about the food here; it’s about the experience and waterfront views. Dine deckside, enjoying fresh, local seafood while the DJ spins a laid-back seasonal playlist. As the evening rolls in, head over to Salt Island Fish & Beer for a more intimate, rustic dining experience where salt adds balance. Their craft beers are perfect for washing down the catch of the day.

Mid Beach itself is a haven for those who love the water. Whether you're up for swimming, sunbathing or building sandcastles, this is your playground. But if you want to stretch your legs a bit, head over to Tybee Island Memorial Park. It’s not just a park; it's a community hub with basketball and volleyball courts, playgrounds and picnic spots. Looking for a dose of entertainment that's both historic and hip? Look no further than the Tybee Post Theatre! This legendary venue hosts live shows, concerts, movies and it's own festival to delight even the most discerning of tastes. Whether you're a history buff, a film fanatic or a die-hard cover band groupie, the theatre is sure to delight and dazzle.

It's simple, really. Mid Beach isn't just a location; it's a lifestyle. It’s where you can find joy in the simple pleasures of a beach day or the thrill of exploring local culture. It’s where every moment is a memory in the making and every sunset takes your breath away. It's where you come as you are and leave better for it—sun-kissed, sand-dusted and blissfully content.

So, ready your luggage, lather on the SPF and make your way to Mid Beach on Tybee Island. It's not your ordinary sandy spot; it's a refuge comprised of sunshine and good vibes. And fair warning: you may never want to leave. PSST! WE'RE STILL HERE... 😳
