Beaches

Although we don’t have Much a coast, Georgia does offer some pretty amazing beach vacations. These lesser-known beaches are not usually packed with tourists and help provide that much needed relaxation that only the sound of crashing waves can bring. Below are a few of our favorite spots on the GA coast.

Tybee Island's Beaches Also called Savannah Beach because of its proximity to the southern classic town. Located just 30 min away from Savannah.

South beach is probably the most popular and crowded. Its great for families because the waters are calm at this beach and there are multiple lifeguards on duty. This beach also has a Pier and pavilion for shopping and eating.

North Beach is a quaint calm beach with picturesque views of the lighthouse along the barrier Island.
