Guide to South Beach

For decades, the iconic Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion has been a beacon of island fun for those visiting Tybee Island. Stroll through the Pavilion and taste summertime treats from Sweet Dreams Bar & Grill while watching cargo ships glide along the water. In South Beach, you'll find the island's local restaurants and shopping, all within walking distance.

Whether you need to cool off from an afternoon in the sun or you’re out for a night on the town, these Tybee hot spots are the perfect place to grab a to-go cocktail. Known for their variety of chilly alcoholic slushies, Wet Willie’s offers a full wall of icy concoctions in every flavor. Mix and match their flavors to make your very own frozen drink! Follow the crowds down Tybee’s main strip and you'll find Fannies on the Beach. This quintessential Tybee establishment serves up strong libations inside and at their walk-up window for easy to-go orders.

What better way to celebrate a great day at the beach than with an unforgettable evening on Tybrisa Street? These Tybee favorites serve up fantastic food with a side of lively entertainment that is sure to keep you dancing late into the night. Hop on stage and spend the evening singing to your favorite tunes at these nightlife spots. Need a little liquid courage? The beachfront Tybee Time Sports Bar doubles as a delicious daiquiri bar. For those looking for a variety of games, all neon signs point to Rock House. Here, guests are invited to play darts and billiards if they're too shy to grab the mic on karaoke night.

Be sure to take some time to stroll downtown for great island shopping. Forget some beach essentials? No problem! T.S. Chu Department Store has you covered. Once you’ve gathered your goods, head out on one of Boo's Bikes for an afternoon of exploring. These electric bikes take the hard work out of cycling and make for an afternoon everyone can enjoy!
