What to Do on a Tybee Island 4th of July

There’s plenty to do before the official celebration gets underway. Start your day off at one of Tybee Island’s beaches. Look for shells on the shoreline of North Beach, or join other families who love the amenities available at South Beach.

When you’re ready for a break from the sun, head back to your Tybee Island rental to enjoy a classic 4th of July feast, complete with grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, potato salad, and a festive fruit salad.

As the sun gets ready to set, find your spot to watch the annual fireworks show. The display starts around 9:15 p.m., and the fireworks are shot from the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion.

Making the short drive to Savannah can add even more festive fun to your day. There’s no shortage of things to do.

• Fort McAllister State Park in Richmond Hill takes you back in time. Its Independence Day Celebration features living history demonstrations, old-timey games, and more.
• Savannah hosts its own fireworks display. Grab your blankets or chairs and head to Savannah’s Waterfront on River Street to watch the colorful show.

Keep an eye on Savannah’s calendar of events for more things to do as the holiday gets closer.
