T YBEE ISL AND FORT PULASKI: Kick off your group tour to Tybee with a bang, or cannon fire, at Fort Pulaski, a beautifully preserved Civil War fortress. Rub shoulders with soldiers from long ago while admiring the beauty of the fort and surrounding marsh in peace time. Stroll down the fort's short nature trails and catch a glimpse of the Cockspur Lighthouse, the long abandoned structure that stands alone in the channel. LUNCH AT THE SHORE: Tybee's seafood is locally caught and served fresh to order. Sit down for a relaxing island lunch at one of Tybee's seaside eateries. Eat shrimp by the pound and watch the waves break along the shore. After lunch, take a stroll down the Tybee Island Pier for an unobstructed view of the shoreline and Atlantic Ocean. HOP ON A DOLPHIN TOUR: Dolphins are abundant in the waters surrounding Tybee. Get a closer look by taking your group on a dolphin tour through the channels of the Savannah River. Catch a glimpse as their sleek bodies jump into the air and race alongside your boat. These friendly and curious creatures are the unofficial welcoming party for visitors to the island. SUNSET DINNER: Wrap up the group's first day on the island by enjoying dinner overlooking the expansive salt marsh and Back River at sunset. Choose from an array of delicious dishes to delight even the pickiest of eaters. Come casually: Tybee's unpretentious atmosphere means that flip flops and windswept hair are not just welcomed, they are encouraged. EXPLORE LITTLE TYBEE ISLAND: Give your group a taste of Little Tybee's uninhabited beaches for a change of pace. Little Tybee Island, a beautiful uninhabited island just south of Tybee, is accessible only by boat. Secure a charter or kayak and weave through the tidal creeks on your way to the beach. Spot bald eagles, dolphins and indigenous birds from the boat while being cooled by the soft, salty breeze. While on the beach, collect huge seashells as mementos to remind you of Tybee.
