Episode Details

Episode 205 of Travel Is Back drifts into Tybee Island, Georgia — Tybee tides, lighthouse echoes, coastal calm — a friendly guide to one of the Southeast’s most charming barrier islands. We walk you through highlights including the Tybee Island Light Station & Museum, sunrise from the Pier, dolphin-watching cruises, and a marsh-paddle at low tide. You’ll get practical travel tips on parking and peak-season timing, how to read tide charts for shelling and kayaking, and the best bike routes for an easy island loop. Food lovers will want our recommendations for fresh shrimp and grits, oysters on the half shell, and a must-visit crab shack where locals go after sunset. Landmarks and nearby history come alive with a visit to Fort Pulaski National Monument and the preserved wooden pilings along North Beach. We keep the tone warm and conversational, with insider notes on where to catch the quietest beaches and the friendliest crab cakes.
