Tybee Island, GA

I recently went to Savannah, GA and I thoroughly enjoyed. My friends and I also visited Tybee Island as well. We climed all 178 steps of the lighthouse and the homes there are really nice too. We stayed at the Marriott right on River Street and we could the container ships go by since Savannah is one of the United States' top 5 shipping ports. We also did the ghost tour, I liked that too. I also walked around the historical area and visited the Juliette Gordon Low's house. If you are not familiar with her, she is the founder and creater of the Girl Scouts of America. A lot of the homes were also some movies, like the movie, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Which made Savannah become even more popular after the book was published and the movie came out. So, to me Savannah, GA is a place I would definitely return to, because if you are into history, this is one of the places a family should visit.

"Carey" Hilliard's is probably the name of the restaurant you mentioned in the later part of your Fort Pulaski section.

Savannah and Tybee are my favorite places in the United States. The best place to eat on Tybee is "The Crab Shack"..where the elite eat in there feet. The communities are filled with natural beauty, eccentrics, history and pure southern charm. I highly recommend just parking your car down by the riverwalk and walking the city squares and seeing the sights of "Forrest Gump" (see where forrest sits on the bench..which is I believe is Wright Square) or "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (The Mercer House which is where Jim Williams really did live).

i love tybee island i loved the beach and all the nice places to eat and it was a nice place to live for 6 months.

from a Tybee lover: get to the pier at sunrise, it will take your breath away......

There is one word to describe Tybee - Heaven. I have been there 3 times. Next week will be my 4th. If you get a chance is is worth it. Tybee is so layed back. I love to sit one the beach hin a swing and stare off into the ocean.

Hi guys I am just graduating this summer and my parents have planned a trip for me and I was hoping people could recommend some places to visit that younger crowds may enjoy (f.y.i. we will not be there over the weekend)

I am interested in traveling to Georgia with my daughter in September. We were thinking of staying in Savannah or on Tybee Island. Can anyone recommend a nice place to stay with reasonable price? Thanks!

I have been to Tybee Island about four times. It is beautiful. I lived in Atlanta,Ga then-so it didnt take long to get there. If you want to save money, try getting a hotel in Savannah and drive to Tybee. I recommend the Savannah Inn Suites off of Victory Drive. Now, I live in PA and miss the access. Needless to say my family and I will plan a trip for this year(2008). I wouldnt recommend going on any Holidays: especially the fourth of July. I made that mistake once-very crowded. They have a lot of reasonable restaurants also-including Arbys.
For the single parents budget.
