Savannah's easygoing beach town with a historic lighthouse and pier.
Tybee Island is in Chatham County, Georgia, on the Atlantic coast.
Hilton Head Island and Tybee Island sit close enough, about eleven miles apart, that each one is the other's nearest neighbor on Coasti's map. Metered parking covers lots and streets across the island, and Jacksonville Beach is the next stop south, about 123 miles away. The lighthouse at the island's north end traces its site back to the 1730s, among the oldest light stations in the country.

Tide predictions come from NOAA station Fort Pulaski, Savannah River Entrance (8670870).

That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Tybee Island loads at the top of this page.
