Food scene Tybee

Don’t let the fact that this is located next to a gas station fool you. Fine dining in the most unexpected of places. This is a fantastic restaurant, which is 5 minutes away from the townhome. One of our favorite restaurants on Tybee if not in all of Savannah. More on the pricey side but well worth it.

A local favorite for sure. Some of the best Mexican food in Savannah and it’s a 5 minute walk from the townhome. Also, the frozen margaritas are delicious. I recommend the frozen strawberry margarita. You won’t be disappointed.

Featured on Diners, drive ins, and dives, there is a reason the king of Flavor Town visited here. This place has quickly become a local favorite and now a wide known name. It is a 12 min walk from the house. It is also a short drive away. This restaurant has the best and probably the fanciest hot dog I’ve ever had or will have. They also have vegan options as well. Fantastic drink menu and often have some local breweries on draft. Check them out on insta gram to see the rotating menu. They also post the menu outside the restaurant.

Owned by the people who own Collin Quarters downtown. This is a fun place to walk to for a drink from the beach or a quick bite. It’s 11 min from the townhome. Great drinks and food with a view.

This is a local hangout spot for sure. Pizza and cheap cold beer on a summer evening. Yes please! This is a little more of a hike to get to. 22 minutes walking but a 3 min drive.

This is an 11 minute walk away. You can take a stroll down the beach towards north beach to get here for a more scenic route. Enjoy your drink and some lunch on their newly renovated patio space.

A 5 min walk away from the town home to great ice cream and tons of different candy options. We personally love this place for after dinner dessert. Blue panda, blueberry cheesecake, and salted turtle are our favorites. They also have DoleWhip like they serve at Disney. Also all the nostalgic candy they have.

New to the island and wow is all I can say. Great food. Probably the best happy hour on the island. 1/2 priced drinks from 5-7 and then also from 10-11PM for that late night crowd. The wings are a $1 a piece at happy hour as well. And get the mango tango and get into all the island life feels. For food, the bird island sandwich (which is their chicken salad) is pheromonal.

Georgia’s oldest and tallest lighthouse. Built in 1736! Ordered to be built by General James Oglethorpe (you’ll see his name all over Savannah). 178 steps to the top.

I took many a field trip to this place growing up. Historic fort from the Civil War. Also has a lot of scenic walking trails. But bring some bug spray because depending on the time of year, the bugs here can be horrendous. This is on the way to Tybee Island.

Unfortunately this is closed. But it is a beautiful site to see so I put it here because on your scenic drive into Tybee you can see this little lighthouse over the the left.

There are not many places that I have come across that quite remind me of this place. It takes a spin of upscale food you may encounter in a trailer park. Check it out. The nachos do not disappoint. Waffle fries with chicken strips, bacon, cheese, ranch, balsamic, and pickles. It’s as delicious as it sounds. And the advocacy fries. Mmm. This also has a sister restaurant called Treylor Park, which is on Bay St.

If you are looking to take that someone special, somewhere special. This is it. This is a spot where many locals come for big occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, ect. I would call to make reservation if you are interested in taking that someone special or yourself here.

Cute little French bistro. Small but has outdoor seating. Close to the river. The croissants are so tasty and made in house each morning. And their coffee is great too. They close at 3PM and usually sell out of some things earlier than that so get here earlier than later.

Tybee Island Sea Turtles nesting season May 1st-October

You will probably see the slow turtle crossing on your way onto the island. The loggerhead sea turtles love Tybee and these mommas come here to lay their eggs during their nesting season from about May 1st-October. They lay eggs at night so you may notice that Tybee doesn’t have lights on after 10PM on the beach and it’s for this reason, to promote sea turtle nesting. It is encouraged to use a red flashlight if walking on the beach during this season after 10PM. If you see a nest, let it be. The DNR scopes out the beach each morning for new nests and ropes any new nests off.
