How to Ring in New Year’s Eve in Georgia
Whatever accomplishments you achieved this year, there’s no better way to celebrate them than on one last vacation of the year. Enjoy a beachfront getaway filled with endless adventure by planning your escape with Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals. While Tybee Island is known for its laidback atmosphere, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve in this region of Georgia.
Colorful Fireworks Displays
One of the most popular ways to close out the year is with an unforgettable fireworks display. Say goodbye to the old and hello to the new by watching the annual Tybee Island fireworks show. Taking place around the Tybee Pier and Pavilion, there is plenty of shoreline to spread out your blanket and reminisce.
Another popular option is the fireworks that light up the sky over River Street in Savannah. The 10-minute show takes place from a barge in the Savannah River across from the convention center.
Memorable Events
If you’re looking for something to do before or after catching a fireworks show, there are several events throughout Savannah and Tybee Island. One of the best places to be in Savannah on NYE is the Plant Riverside District. Feel like you stepped inside Studio 54 at the Studio 24 Disco Party.
If you’re looking for something to do on New Year’s Day, take part in the Tybee Polar Plunge. Go for a dip in the Atlantic Ocean while wearing your best goofy costume. Keep your eyes open for more events at Tybee Island bars or other local businesses.

No matter which of our Tybee Island vacation rentals you choose, you’ll have everything you need to ring in the new year with a night in. Watch the ball drop from the comfort of your living room, or see if you can spot the fireworks while sipping on champagne from your porch.

Booking a getaway with Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals gives you the best of both worlds. Enjoy the laidback atmosphere of Tybee Island while being close to the more energetic vibes of Savannah.

Keep reading to learn more about things to do and see along the cobblestone streets.
A Guide to Attractions, Restaurants, & More
Historic River Street, also known as Savannah’s Waterfront, has always played a role in Georgia’s history. From serving as a colonial port and the home of several cotton warehouses, the area helped shape the city into what it is today.
The cobblestone streets that were once the paths between the buildings and the bluff are now home to incredible restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries, and more.
Shops
Take in picturesque views of the Savannah River as you wander in and out of shops. Look for a stunning piece of jewelry at 13 Secrets Jewelry Gallery. If you love looking for new works of art, there are several galleries to visit, including The Savion Gallery and Grand Bohemian Gallery. Stop into Washed Ashore, September’s Closet, or Southern Tide Savannah for a new outfit. For a unique shopping experience, head to the River Street Market Place, an open-air market reminiscent of the markets in the 1800s.
Restaurants
Before heading back to your Tybee Island rental, stop by one of the delicious restaurants on River Street for a world-class meal. The Cotton Exchange Tavern is housed in one of the old cotton warehouses and is known for incredible Southern cuisine. For an upscale experience, make a reservation for Vic’s On the River. Sample a range of exceptional small plates and refreshing cocktails at Baobab Lounge.
Sweet Treats
No trip to River Street is complete without sampling some of the decadent sweets found here. Byrd’s Famous Cookies has two locations on River Street. Stop into either one to stock up on your favorite flavors or to sample something new. For over four decades, the Strickland family and Savannah’s Candy Kitchen have been a River Street staple. Be sure to stock up on pecan pralines and chewy saltwater taffy. Other great options include River Street Sweet and District Gelato.
