This is THE only video I didn't see before I left for Tybee from May 31st to June 4Th, 2019! We stayed the Mermaid Cottages which were absolutely lovely, close to the beach and though larger than we needed, they were less expensive than the hotels. We had the option of eating at the cottage and that helped! There is ONE fast food chain store there! An Arby's! ONE! We found out that if you don't get seated for dinner at other restaurants by 6: 30, don't be surprised if you're turned away! They had a larger than usual crowd and we were told that they were full and couldn't seat any more folks. We were also told that if you order take out and have it delivered, (which many restaurants do) we needed to do it by 8: 00 or they couldn't deliver. We actually wound up eating pizza from a less than perfect pizza shop, but they did deliver! I wish we had brought crab with us or bought crab to cook at the cottage. They had a lovely area outside where we could eat and though we had a sort of swamp directly behind the cottage, we were never bothered by bugs. We were however burned to a crisp in spite of using a sunblock that was supposed to keep us from remotely changing any other color than the one we had when we got there. We burn easy so we were concerned and did what we were supposed to and it was an epic fail! I was also taking pictures for the cottages as I do a mermaid character for charities and the like, near (NOT ON - just in case you aren't familiar - Jetties are made to shred you) the jetty N. beach where they suggested the pictures be taken because the photos would look more eye-catching. Afterward, we went toward the mid area and were having a great time swimming when a sudden rip came in. The lifeguards flew a flag quickly but we weren't where we could see it. They were whistling but we couldn't hear for the waves suddenly hitting the shore. In a split second, we were being pulled out to sea. Well, I was. My husband who is very body dense knows the mechanics of swimming but his body doesn't cooperate. He sinks especially in a rip current! He was being pulled out to the jetty. I was fine floating out to sea. So out came the lifeguards! I'm floating toward the boats which could speed right over me but rather calm except for worrying about my husband being put through the jetty meat grinder. A boat even slowed down and some kid yelled, Hey Mom, There's a mermaid in the water! Did they help? Nope! They took pictures! They may have a video on here somewhere! So they go off. I do the only thing I could, I waved goodbye, and just waited for a little girl lifeguard the size of a kid's Barbie doll fighting the current to come to get me! I asked if someone was taking care of my husband. She assured me they were and he was fine and already on shore. I grabbed the floatation device and she says, Wow, you're really easy to tow! I told her I was using my tail so I was helping as much as possible. She laughed and said, By the way, your make-up looks awesome! I explained that I was ready for the worst-case scenario. In the event that I died, we'd save money and not need the cosmetologist! She told me I was really fun to rescue. Most folks are panicking and don't ever make her laugh she said! I thanked her and explained I was glad she enjoyed the rescue but I didn't plan on repeating the situation. She was cute as she could be. A young gentleman kept asking how I felt. You always have to worry about dry drowning of course. He said he wanted to take me to the hospital to be checked out. How did I feel? I answered, I'm pissed! At the ocean! I'm pissed! Otherwise, I'm dandy! How's my husband? I was worried he might need treatment but he was fine, just tired. We left the beach along with a huge group of folks since everyone was being called in. The young lady, Maddie, told me that this was a fast rip current! They don't usually come that fast. Knowing that they can is scary! So seriously don't go too far out from shore. Watch those kids because a rip can apparently come in as close to only 2 feet of water deep. The next day, things were beautiful. We went on an enchanting dolphin tour (Shout out to Capt. Gator and 1st mate Ashley) then left to go to the beach early enough. Afterward, we headed out to find overpriced nicknacks for us, family and friends. That was the night we headed to find food and learned the vile truth about finding food or actually, NOT finding food that easily on the island! We did a stopover in Savannah on the way home but would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the history, the myths and folklore of the area! We would love going back and staying long enough to enjoy both places a bit more! So, the moral of this book, learn from our mistakes and have a great time!

Going to Savannah next week. Arriving on Saturday afternoon and would love to go on and take kids to see the ocean that afternoon/evening. No swimming, just to eat and walk the shore.
Have heard it is super crowded on summer weekends. So is that a bad idea? Worried about traffic and parking.
We have lots to do in Savannah too. But also would like to go to the beach a day or two and spend some time swimming, etc. Are weekdays better for beach?
Thanks. We are excited

We live in North Georgia and Tybee island our favorite. The history and the simple beach life are just our style. Great video. On a side note, in Georgia bicycles are subject to the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. Might want to refrain from alcohol in that cup holder. Open container and DUI on a bicycle is a real thing.
Check out Sting Rays too and The Breakfast Club.

Fun Fact Tybee Was The Place To Go Back in the 1800s for dual. Have a beef with someone. Challenge them to a dual and than head to Tybee and dual it our. Tybee is a very quirky little place. Do not expect normal. Make sure you put l; ife jacket on your kids that has a tether. The Rip current is horrible and will drag you and your especially your kids off.

What a beautiful place. I saw that it was the location where LAST SONG, the movie with Miley Cyrus, was filmed. I 'd love to visit it next time I go to USA.
