A Guide to 5 Savannah Neighborhoods & Districts
Tybee Island is known as Savannah’s beach. Found only 20 minutes from the popular Georgia town, this barrier island is the perfect place for anyone wanting to be close to the action while having a tranquil place to call home. For the perfect coastal Georgia home base, turn to Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals. Our Tybee Island rentals are the ideal place to rest after a day of exploring the unique neighborhoods and districts in Savannah.
Chances are you’ve heard of Savannah’s Historic District. However, there are several other unique areas ripe for exploring. To help you map out your Savannah adventures, we’ve compiled a list of five districts and neighborhoods to wander.
1. Historic Landmark District
The 2.2-square-mile area is the hub of downtown. Home to 22 park squares and countless landmarks, the best way to explore this area is on a guided tour like the ones from Genteel & Bard or Old Savannah Tours. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as the best way to explore all this district has to offer is by foot.
2. Starland District
If you’re looking for funky vintage shops and charming art galleries, head to the Starland District. Created by two Savannah College of Art and Design students in the late 1990s, the once run-down buildings in this artsy neighborhood have been transformed into quaint cafes and thriving shops.
3. Moon River District
Head 20 minutes south of downtown, and you’ll reach the Moon River District. While here, visit the Wormsloe Historic Site, one of the oldest plantations in the state. Learn about the Gullah-Geechee culture by spending time at the Pin Point Heritage Museum.
4. Midtown
Midtown is only a roughly 10-minute drive from the Historic District in Savannah. This neighborhood, one of the city’s earliest suburbs, is known for its relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy a picnic lunch in Daffin Park, or take in breathtaking architecture on a walk through the Habersham Village.
5. River Street
Another popular area of Savannah is River Street. Also known as Savannah’s Waterfront, the cobblestone streets are lined with numerous shops and restaurants. This is also the perfect place to head if you’re craving something sweet.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah & Tybee Island

However, it should be, especially if you’re trying to figure out when to book your getaway with Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals. Our coastal Georgia vacation rentals are the ideal home base for anyone looking to check out all the St. Patrick’s Day fun in Savannah and Tybee Island.
Memorable Parades
Both Tybee Island and Savannah host parades filled with plenty of fun. Dates for the parades can vary each year, so check online for this year’s information. The Tybee Island event is the first parade of the season. It starts at 3 p.m. and travels from Tybee City Hall down Butler Avenue to Tybrisa Street.
The most anticipated event of the St. Patrick’s Day season here is the annual Savannah parade. The sea of green travels from Gwinnett Street near Forsyth Park to the Historic District. While the parade starts around 10:15 a.m., roads begin to close well before that. To avoid the bottleneck of cars, we recommend utilizing the shuttles. For anyone looking to watch marching bands, floats, and dancers in style, check out the bleacher spots you can reserve.
Other Green Festivities
The fun isn’t limited to the parades listed above. For more information on events, visit the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Committee website.
