A Local's Guide
The places we send guests to first. Dolphin tours, fossil hunts, the lighthouse, the fort — plus the easiest ways to get around.
Boat Tour
The dolphin tour we recommend most often. Guaranteed sightings, restrooms onboard, and a route past the lighthouse and Fort Pulaski. Book the late-afternoon run for golden-hour light on the water.

Beach Tour
A guided beach walk that turns into a treasure hunt. The team teaches you what to look for — black, triangular, glinting in the sand — and most groups go home with a pocketful of shark teeth and a megalodon story. Great with kids.

Shuttle
The friendliest way to get around the island when you'd rather not drive. Pre-book if you've got a group heading to dinner or the pier — they'll pull right up to our front door.

Cart Rentals
Tybee runs on golf carts in season. The local-est way to see the island — easy parking, short drives, and a breeze through your hair. Reserve ahead in summer; the fleet goes fast.

Historic Site
Fifteen minutes by car, and a different century when you walk through the gate. Civil War-era brick walls, marsh trails, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find anywhere else on the island. Plan a slow two hours and bring water.

Lighthouse & Museum
178 steps and Georgia's oldest lighthouse rewards you with the whole island laid out beneath you. The ticket includes both keepers' cottages and the museum across the street — easily a half-day for the history-minded.

Surf lessons, parasailing, jet skis, and kayaks. The way to spend an afternoon when the tide is right.
