Tybee Island Georgia.

Tybee is a tiny island located North of Skidaway island where we have stayed for 3 nights. This area of Georgia is beautiful with waving acres of tall grass with channels of water winding through and leading to the Atlantic Ocean. Fresh and salt water mix here. Many hundreds of years ago pirates landed here to secure fresh water, small game and to bury their plunder. A historical site, the light house can be toured. In 1736 when it was built it was considered the tallest building in America. At 90 feet high it marked the entrance to the Savannah river and warned ships of the Savannah coast line. Thursday March 23 we visited this island and treated ourselves to food at the CRAB SHACK. This certainly was an eclectic place as it is built out over the water on stilts with windows that can be removed to allow the ocean breezes to cool the customers. There is a large outside deck covered with overhanging branches and lighted by bulbs inside inverted bushel baskets. Customers can buy food to feed the alligators who are kept in a large pond beside the deck area.
