Tybee Island, GA Just a 30-minute drive outside of Savannah is Georgia's Tybee Island, where you can step back in time and experience beach living before it became plagued with high rises and hotels. It's hard to believe this cottage-filled, nature-friendly, bike-welcoming town lies just outside of Savannah's growing urban atmosphere. Pack a picnic and walk along the Tybee Island Pier for a sunset dinner on the water or leave the kitchenwork to the professionals and grab a seat at CoCo's Sunset Grille.
