It doesn’t matter if you’ve been to Tybee Island before or if your upcoming getaway is your first trip, you’ll soon discover this Georgia island is full of adventure. From kayaking area waterways to casting a line on a fishing excursion, the possibilities are endless. Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals has the perfect home base with vacation rentals throughout the island. During your stay, explore everything there is to do, including visiting the nearby hidden gem of Little Tybee Island.
How to Get to Little Tybee Island
Situated just south of Tybee Island sits an uninhibited nature preserve known as Little Tybee Island. Don’t let the name fool you; this island is actually twice the size of Tybee Island. There is only one way to get to the island for a day of exploration, and that’s by water. Rent a boat from Bull River Marina, or enjoy a kayak expedition with a rental from Sea Kayak Georgia. A thrilling way to your destination is on a jet ski from Tybee Jet Ski & Watersports.
If you are captaining your own journey, keep in mind the tides are known to change drastically every six hours. Because of this, do not try to swim, use an inflatable vessel, or wade to get to the island. Only experienced boaters are recommended to attempt landing on Little Tybee, and only experienced kayakers with knowledge of the area and tides should captain their own excursion. There are plenty of guided kayak or paddleboard tours if you are looking for knowledgeable guides to show you the way.
What to Do During Your Exploration
One of the safest ways to enjoy your adventure is with a knowledgeable guide by booking your spot on one of the ecological tours that make the trip. Charter services like Sundial Charter Tours and Sweet Lowland Tours both offer guided tours of the waters around this barrier island.
Other popular activities include:
- Fishing with Marshland Inshore Fishing Adventures

- Birdwatching
- Witnessing a breathtaking sunset
- Nature photography
