Tybee Island

Travour extends a warm welcome to Tybee Island, the word Tybee means "salt" to Native Americans, this secret beauty has long been inconspicuously hidden in Georgia but has sprung up on the world tourism circuit due to its irresistible combination of "sun", "surf" and "fun".

An island and a present-day city in Chatham County, Georgia near the city of Savannah, Tybee Island has 3,392 city inhabitants and a total island population of 3,713 as per the 2000 census.

Outside Georgia, Tybee Island is best known as the home of the Tybee Bomb, a nuclear weapon that was lost offshore on February 5, 1958. In an attempt to foster tourism in the Island, it was officially renamed "Savannah Beach" in a publicity move at the end of the 1950s, but the move was quickly reverted and the Island got back its original name. An ideal sanctuary for those looking for a relaxed peaceful vacation, this small island pulls many residents of Savannah as well as international tourists longing for a quiet getaway.
