Tybee Island Picture Tour Tybee Island Picture Tour Tybee Island is located at the mouth of the Savannah River near Savannah, Georgia. It's a narrow island, especially at the south end, making it easy to walk from the beach on one side to the marsh on the other. Join me now on a picture tour of Tybee. The marshes around Tybee are beautiful.
Many residents build homes close to the marsh so they can dock their boats in the waterways.
Running beside the causeway to the island is the old Savannah to Tybee railroad bed. It is now an open trail, accessible to the public. Just before you get to Tybee a left turn off the causeway takes you to Cockspur Island and Fort Pulaski. This was a Confederate fort that fell to a heavy Union artillery barrage during the Civil War. Once again we have the beauty of the marshes and waterways.
