OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM HISTORIC T YBEE ISLAND LIGHT STATION AND T YBEE MUSEUM: Dating back to 1736, Tybee's historic lighthouse is one of only seven Colonial-era light stations remaining in America. After touring the complex, have your students climb the 178 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse for panoramic views of the island and surrounding areas. Following the lighthouse tour, take your group across the street to the Tybee Museum to explore more than 400 years of Tybee Island history. LUNCH AT NORTH BEACH: Set between the lighthouse and easygoing North Beach neighborhood, North Beach Bar & Grill's oceanfront locale complements its Caribbean flair. Outdoor seating is plentiful, and fare is beyond delicious. Sandy toes are more than welcome, as the place is mere feet from the beach. BEACH DAY: Spend the afternoon enjoying all Tybee's beaches have to offer. After all, a trip to Tybee isn't complete without spending time at the beach. Tybee Island is home to over three miles of beautiful beaches, each with their own personality. Take your students to North Beach for a view of incoming container ships, or on the South End to explore the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion. Your students will love the opportunity to splash in the waves, build sandcastles and enjoy the coastal breeze. FORT PULASKI: Kick off day two of your students' Tybee tour with a bang, or cannon fire, at Fort Pulaski, a beautifully preserved Civil War fortress. Declared a national monument in 1924, Fort Pulaski has been rebuilt and restored to the same state as in its heyday. The fort offers tours with soldiers in period dress for a fun, immersive learning experience. After the tour, take the kids to the museum for a closer look at the fort's long history. T YBEE ISLAND MARINE SCIENCE CENTER: Tybee is home to a vibrant ecosystem, and the Tybee Island Marine Science Center is the perfect place to go for a closer look. The center offers year-round programs for groups that include beach walks, marsh treks, turtle talks and more. They also offer floating classrooms that explore the Savannah River and Tybee's creeks and rivers. DAY 1 D AY 2 3-DAY ITINERARY:
