Savannah to Tybee Island Drive
🚗6 mapped stops
A drive from the moss-draped squares of Savannah through the coastal marshlands of Georgia to the windswept beaches of Tybee Island. Along the way, you'll pass a cemetery that inspired a bestselling novel, a colonial-era fort guarding the Savannah River, and a lighthouse that has watched over the Georgia coast since 1736. This is the Low Country at its most atmospheric — salt marshes, military history, and island charm.
