Cockspur Island offers a good view of the Savannah River just before it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It is also one of the more popular fishing locations near Tybee. And at the end of the causeway a bridge takes you over Lazaretto Creek and onto Tybee Island. Shrimp boats can be found tied up at a marina and trolling the Atlantic just off the island. A long stretch of the Tybee beach has a double row of sand dunes facing it.
Walkways provide access to the beach.
There is ample parking on the main highway and on streets to the walkways. In early spring the warm sun starts bringing the crowds from nearby Savannah, other parts of Georgia and from other states. By midsummer it's hard to find a vacant spot of sand. One way to get away from the crowd is to retreat back into the dunes. But don't go too far.
