Tybee Island stands at the mouth of the Savannah River, and the lighthouse has cast it's friendly beacon across the Atlantic ocean since 1736. You've just got to see the beauty of it's light from the North Beach after sunset --it's incredible!
The Tybee Museum is open year round to the public. Even during the winter months visitors frequent trips to come and view artifacts, and to learn more about the history of our island, with a particular focus on the Civil War era.The Tybee Museum is located inside of the Battery Garland, built in 1899. It is directly next to Fort Screven, and across from the Tybee Lighthouse.
The present Fort Pulaski, a medieval-appearing, old fort dates back to 1829; the original structure, built in 1804, was destroyed by a hurricane. The view of the marshlands surrounding the area are beautiful--there are picnic grounds, a gift shop and a fascinating walking tour--great for star-gazing as well.
