The Wandering Couple: TYBEE ISLAND

While we were at Savannah we took a day and went to Tybee Island. We also took a drive out onto Hilton Head Island and just drove around. I wanted to see some of the lush and beautiful golf courses on the Island. Really couldn't see much of the courses, as they were well tucked in behind the entrance areas, but the whole island was very pretty.

Anyway, Tybee Island is just SE of Savannah and is made up of the City of Tybee. All the beach area belongs to Tybee and they have commerical parking lots all along the outer edge of town when you can park (metered) and walk out on the shoreline and go swimming or shelling. They also have it posted, "No Animals on the beach", subject to a $250.00 fine. We had taken Sam so he could go for a swim in the Ocean, but when we saw the sign, decided to leave him in the truck. Mom & I took off for a stroll and some wading, but we keep running into people with their dog with them. After about 20 minutes or so, I told Mom to heck with this and went back to the truck to get Sam. When I got back to her, she said we had better hurry and let him have his fun because the beach patrol had just gone by on their rounds and had kicked people off that had dogs with them, and they would be coming back. Anyway, Sam had his fun, he just loved it, and I got him back to the truck before they came back. We spent a couple of hours just walking and wading and shelling. It was a blast! First time either of us has ever seen the ocean.
