The Ultimate Tybee Island Winter Vacation Planning Checklist

There’s no shortage of fun to be had when you visit Tybee Island this winter. Taking the time to plan things out before you arrive means more time for adventure the minute you arrive.

Even in the heart of winter, Tybee Island’s average temperatures still each average highs near the 60s.

Researching activities and attractions before you visit will give you a better idea of whether you need reservations or need to secure rental equipment.  

2. Create an Itinerary

With so much to do and see, creating an itinerary is a great way to ensure you don’t miss out on anything! Group activities or attractions based on their proximity to each other. This way you won’t have to spend time driving back and forth across the island. One thing to keep in mind as you create your itinerary is not to overload it. Vacations are all about relaxing, and if you overschedule yourself, you may find yourself worrying about sticking to a schedule instead of enjoying your time together.
