    Bring a chair, a book, or just yourself. Locals do this all the time, even just for 30 minutes to hang out.

    Great for people watching, dolphin spotting, and catching ocean breezes. Early morning and sunset are best.

    Tybee loves a good parade. From Irish Heritage to Independence Day to Christmas, we find reasons to celebrate.
