Immerse yourself in the Tybee Island culture with memorable experiences that will last a lifetime. More than just activities, these unique adventures showcase what makes Tybee the complete island getaway.
Set your alarm to watch a spectacular sunrise from any of our eastern beaches. Grab a beach blanket and a cup of joe from Sunrise Restaurant then head down to the shoreline with your camera in hand. Be sure to check the local weather for exact sunrise times as they change daily.
If learning a new adventure calls your name, try your hand at surfing by taking a class with Tybee Surf Lessons!
Spend the afternoon making new friends on the water on Captain Derek’s Dolphin Adventure Tours. Each tour starts off with a brief history of the harbor then it’s off to a top-secret location where you’re guaranteed to spot these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. Want to make it even more memorable? Guests are welcome to bring their own refreshments onboard – so pack a picnic!
If voluntourism is on your annual resolution list, you can donate your skills and your time on Tybee. Participate in a beach or marsh clean-up initiative to help our island stay beautiful and pristine. Volunteers can sign up at the Tybee Clean Beach Volunteers website.
Rent a boat from Sweet Lowland Charters or a kayak from Sea Kayak Georgia and make your way to Little Tybee Island for an afternoon of fun. Located just a short distance from Tybee Island, this uninhabited nature preserve is only accessible by water and is surprisingly larger than our mainland. From camping to shell collecting, there are plenty of ways to spend the afternoon on this secluded island getaway.
Nothing says welcome to The South like an authentic Low Country Boil. Fresh seafood paired perfectly with boiled potatoes, corn and sausage are served daily at The Crab Shack – a quirky waterfront dinery where guests eat under the sparkle of twinkle lights.
A vacation in paradise is not complete without a toast to the memories made. Pier 16 Seafood Restaurant understands that every day should be celebrated so, cheers to the evening's sunset over delicious cocktails and cold beers on their rooftop deck. Take part in a heartwarming toast to end a fantastic day on Tybee Island.
