First choice
Pick the beach before you pick the day
North Beach, South Beach, Mid Beach, Back River, and Little Tybee all create different Tybee trips. Start there, then fit food and parking around it.

Tybee Island, Georgia
Tybee beaches, lighthouse mornings, pier evenings, and marsh-water edges.
Explore Tybee Island’s beaches, Tybee Lighthouse, Fort Pulaski, local hotels, seafood dining, and kayak tours for your perfect Georgia coastal getaway.
Weekend shape
A strong Tybee trip starts by choosing the island mood, not by chasing every attraction.
Signature anchor
Let the lighthouse and pier frame the weekend
The Light Station gives Tybee its historic shape; the pier, pavilion, and nearby blocks bring the classic beach-town evening.

Second day
Add Fort Pulaski or a marsh-water outing
When you have more than one beach session, use the extra half-day for Cockspur Island history, dolphin water, kayak creeks, or a quieter Back River sunset.
Shape the itinerary →First island decision
Choose South Beach energy, North Beach calm, or Back River sunset before filling the day.
Tybee gets easier once the first beach has a job. South Beach handles pier walks, casual food, and a livelier first night. North Beach puts the lighthouse and softer sand time closer together. Back River is the better second act when the group wants sunset, paddling, dolphins, or a quieter water edge after the Atlantic beach block.
Island rhythm
Tybee is small, but the trip changes fast by beach zone.
South Beach is the classic pier-and-action stay; North Beach is calmer and lighthouse-adjacent; Back River is sunset and water-outing territory; Fort Pulaski adds history without turning the trip into Savannah.
