Little Tybee Island

Just a short distance to the south of Tybee Island lies an uninhabited nature preserve named Little Tybee Island. Despite the name, it's actually twice the size of our barrier island and only accessible by boat! While it may be larger than Tybee, visitors often overlook it as a great place for a day trip while on vacation. And, if you're looking for an adventure there's no better spot! A trek to this natural paradise tucked away on the Georgia coast is well worth it with its magnificent sunsets, wildlife watching opportunities, fishing, and so much more. Whether you've been to Tybee before, or it's your first time, visiting Little Tybee is an opportunity you don't want to miss!

Appreciate the coastal wetlands, stunning salt marshes, maritime forests, and rolling dunes all in one location. With many migratory birds calling Little Tybee home, you'll get a chance to see flocks of shore birds and even some endangered species. If you're lucky, you'll get a glimpse of one of the bald eagles that nest on the island. 

Kayaking is one of the best ways to visit Little Tybee Island! Get out on the water and explore the coastal waterways teaming with wildlife. Get up close and personal with dolphins, sea otters, and a variety of wading birds! Launch from Back River Beach for a direct route, or start further up Lazaretto Creek for a full day of adventure.
