Tybee Island, Barrier island in Chatham County, United States
Tybee Island extends along the Georgia coast with sandy beaches, marshlands, and coastal waters supporting diverse marine species and migratory birds.
The Tybee Island Lighthouse, constructed in 1736 at the northern tip, has guided ships through the Savannah River entrance for nearly three centuries.
The Beach Bum Parade and Pirate Fest bring together residents and visitors for seasonal celebrations featuring local music, food, and maritime traditions.
Four distinct beach areas - North Beach, South Beach, Mid Beach, and Back River Beach - offer different experiences for swimming, sunbathing, and water activities.
In 1958, the United States Air Force accidentally dropped a Mark 15 nuclear bomb near Tybee Island, which remains unrecovered in the surrounding waters.
