Tybee Island is a barrier island with a lot of history and great beaches. We stopped at the Light Station on the way in. Built in 1773 and rebuilt, it has guided many ships into the area. Fun fact: the colored stripes identify this lighthouse so sailors know where they are. We climbed to the top, all 178 steps, to see the incredible view. A picture below shows not only the view, but the battery below that is now a museum for the lighthouse. Afterwards, we drifted down to the other end of the island to the Tybee Beach Pier. Although great views can be found here, the real fun is fishing! The first catch while we were there was a stingray! A good two foot across, after resting for a few minutes, the hook was removed and the fish was released. Next catch was a bluefish also at about 24 inches. Must have been just under the minimum as after several measurements, he also was released. We had a seafood snack and then checked out the little shops.
