== Fun facts ==
* Tybee Island is home to the first of what would eventually become the Days Inn chain of hotels, the oft-photographed Tybee Island Light Station, and the Fort Screven Historic District.
* It is one of the few locations where the U.S. Air Force dropped an atomic bomb; by accident (during a botched 1958 military training exercise). Though the "Tybee Bomb" did not detonate (and, according to some reports, was not armed with a fuse), there has been ongoing concern, since the Mark 15 nuclear bomb lost during the mishap was never found.
* The island is the easternmost point in Georgia. The famous phrase "From Rabun Gap to Tybee Light," intended to illustrate the geographic diversity of Georgia, contrasts a mountain pass near the state's northernmost point with the coastal island's famous lighthouse.
* Tybee Island is mostly a resort/vacation town. It has some hotels/motels, an IGA, a sports complex, a bit of public battle fields, a Subway, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, Tybrisa At the Beach, Beachside Colony Resort, Sundae Cafe, 80 East Gastropub, a few bed and breakfasts, Sting Ray's Seafood, and a few other things.
