Tybee’s South Beach is the
busiest area of the entire island,
and includes everything south of
14th Street. Tybee’s main beach
area is located here, along with
a variety of local shops and
restaurants. The waves are fairly
calm from 14th Street to 19th
Street, making this stretch a great
choice for families. Surfers can
a bit more wave action than on
other parts of Tybee. If you’re
looking to stay in the middle of
all the action, South Tybee is the
place for you!
While Tybee Island is home to three beautiful beaches facing the Atlantic
Ocean, there are two lesser-known river beaches waiting for you to explore:
Tybee’s Back River beach on the southern end of the island, and the
Savannah River beach on the northern end of the island. While they each
offer something a bit different than one another, either make a great choice
if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxed day in the sun. They’re a bit off the
part of what makes Tybee’s river beaches so enjoyable. That, and the outof
this-world sunsets.
