Where the South Slows Down and Stays Awhile

Help! Planning a Day Trip to Tybee Island from Savannah

Magnolia Beaumont 6/24/2026 9:52pm

Just got back from the most wonderful afternoon on Tybee and I wanted to share some tips for anyone looking to make a day trip out of it. If you're driving, be prepared for some construction on Hwy 80 - it's a bit of a slow go, but trust me, it's worth it. We hit up the lighthouse, grabbed some lunch at North Beach Bar & Grill (get the shrimp po' boy), and spent some time exploring the island. Anyone else have any favorite spots or recommendations for next time?
