Spending a day at the beach should be pleasant without having to search for a restroom. Portable restrooms can be found at many of the dune crossovers along the island beaches, and accessible restrooms are also provided at the north and south beach parking lots. There is a portable, ADA-compliant, air-conditioned restroom in the 18th Street parking lot at the south beach, and concrete restrooms on the north beach between the museum and the North Beach Grill.

Often Tybee Island will experience rip currents produced by waves and generated by storms out at sea. The weather may be fine, but rip currents could be lurking and dangerous. You can even see them if you look as the water is more “ripply.” These currents are very powerful, and if you’re stuck in one, it can pull you out to sea. Here is some information about what to do if you get caught in one.
Your first reaction will be to panic and try to fight the current. DO NOT FIGHT IT! Try and remember to calm down–tell yourself to relax–float on your back for a bit to get yourself in control.
Swim perpendicular to the current. You will feel a change once you are able to begin heading for the shore, then start to slowly swim to shore. You should be able to get back, but if you’re still having trouble, swim perpendicular some more until you are beyond it. Then swim toward the shore.
Rip currents can kill you if you aren’t careful. But if you are caught in one, don’t panic. You’ll make it if you stay calm and THINK.

● Vacation rental companies provide 24 hour guest services. Most can arrange for delivery of baby gear, bikes, and groceries before your arrival.
● Dollar for dollar, vacation rentals offer a better value (per night, per person) than a standard hotel room and have options to fit most budgets and lifestyles.
● Vacation homes provide a variety of amenities – kitchens, BBQ grills, hot tubs, pools, laundry facilities, outdoor and indoor spaces to gather and entertain – or to just relax and do nothing!

If you live on an ocean, you live by the tides. Tide Tables are published in the newspaper, and tide information is given at every weather report. Boaters and fishermen live and die by the tides, as if they don’t understand them, they can become stranded. Tybee Island can get tides as high as 12 feet, bringing the water right up to the Tybee road. And sometimes, when it rains and we have a particularly high tide, the water can cover the Tybee Road!
Tides move the entire ocean. If you’ve been to the beach, you have seen the water come high up on the shore and then later, way out. You may have heard people say Continue Reading »
