Recommendations From a Local

A lot of people ask me for recommendations when they visit Tybee Island. This page provides my opinions, as a local, on some of the best places

Raw Ingredients
If you like sushi this place is for you. I’ve been eating here regularly since the day they opened and have never been disappointed.
Sunrise Cafe
A relaxed breakfast place. It reminds me of Waffle House, but better. You can also see a 25 foot custom print I did for them on their wall.
Salt Island
Great food at great prices. Much of their menu is seafood, but its not all that they have. I definitely recommend checking out their menu because you will find something you like.
Bubba Gumbo’s
A fantastic seafood restaurant on the north end. Its the only place on the island where you can eat fresh caught local shrimp. It really does make a difference!
Sundae Cafe
Outstanding food and some of the finest dining on the island! They have delicious a dinner menu that I can’t recommend enough.

Admirals Inn
Short of renting a house, the best place to stay is the Admirals Inn. Its in a great location near the pier and its where my family sometimes stays when they come to visit.
Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals
This company has a large selection of great houses to book. All shapes, sizes, and locations can be found to suit your needs.

Chatham Ave Beach Access
The back river of the island is, in my opinion, the best sunset spot. The sun sets over Little Tybee and it is absolutely breath taking.
The Lighthouse
There’s nothing quite like watching the sun set behind the lighthouse. Its cliché and classic for a reason.
Savannah Beach and Racquet Club
The beach at the Beach and Racquet Club is a fantastic spot for watching sunset. Often you can watch shrimp boats and cargo ships in the distance while the sun sets.
