Little Tybee Island
Small in name, but grand in scale - in this episode of Only on Tybee, we're taking the marsh route with Seth Solomon of Crab Creek Charters to Little Tybee Island.
The water and this Tybee native have a kindred bond, nurtured since his childhood. Very few know the dance of the current as he does, so who better to take the lead to this uninhabited paradise?
As Seth describes it, Little Tybee is a maze of salt creeks just south of Tybee Island, where the marsh meets the sea. The marshes serve as a natural filter for the mainland and a vital storm barrier for the community.
Measuring between 27 and 80 islands, Little Tybee is accessible only by water. That's where Seth comes in. Crab Creek Charters' private sunrise, sunset and dolphin tours are idyllic for this adventure because Seth takes his cue from the tide and wind - staying in tempo with nature.
These untapped beaches offer a welcome peace unlike anywhere else, and there is much to discover upon arrival. More than 200 bird species and a thriving aquatic ecosystem call this place home. Crabs, fish and sea turtles are often spotted along the shoreline, while bottlenose dolphins swim just offshore. Getting there takes a little more effort, but that's part of what keeps Little Tybee feeling wonderfully untouched.
Here, you'll find that less is more. And thanks to locals like Seth, it's a side of Tybee few visitors would discover on their own.
