Tybee Island is a small barrier island just off the coast of Savannah, and is known for its gorgeous beaches and the Tybee Island Lighthouse! Depending on your location, Savannah is about 20 miles from Tybee Island. Please be aware that during peak season, it could take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get there, depending on traffic. It is recommended to account for this when mapping out travel time, as you will want to arrive at your scheduled tour time at least 30 minutes prior.
