Being home to a mere 3,114 inhabitants as per the 2020 census, Tybee Island has maintained an intimate, small-town charm despite its reputation as Georgia's easternmost point. It harbours an exciting past as a strategic stronghold for Native Americans, pirates, and later Spanish rule, all leaving their mark in local lore and intriguing landmarks.

The Tybee Island Light Station, one of the few remaining lighthouses from the 18th century, towers majestically as a symbol of maritime heritage. Fort Screven Historic District and the prodigious City Hall provide interesting detours between sun-soaked visits to the iconic Tybee Pier and Pavilion or a leisurely stroll on Tybrisa Street. Adding an element of mystery, a 1958 incident saw an atomic bomb accidentally dropped off the island's coast, with its whereabouts remaining unknown.

Unlike the bomb, the late 19th-century tourism boom that has firmly put Tybee on the traveller's map remains evident to this day, preserving its status as an island eldorado. Beyond the sandy beaches, explore Tybee's diverse ecosystem, encompassing tidal salt marshes, maritime forests, and freshwater sloughs.
