Tybee Island Beach
DESCRIPTION: Sun, sea and summer breezes have a charm all their own; when you can combine all that with a taste of history, there’s a surefire draw to Tybee Island. The little beachfront colony is only 18 miles from historic downtown Savannah, Georgia, but it doesn’t get lost in the more dramatic lures of one of the top tourist cities in the country. The island is a year-round haven for a few thousand citizens. During spring and summer, the population swells when summer breezes send the scent of fresh salt air toward the city.
