Tybee Island GA

Tybee Island's tranquil Margarita'ville style atmosphere and miles of sandy beaches attract millions visitors each year. Located at the top of Georgia's small, but beautiful Atlantic coastline. Home to about 3500 permanent residents, mail is picked up the at the local Post Office as well as permanent parking stickers for verifiable residents, utility bill please. In other words, parking meters everywhere. But a dip off of Tybee's beaches, or just watching the sunset are all well worth the dollar an hour street parking.

Twenty miles to the west, thru a series of bridges and marsh lined causeways, you'll find Historic Savannah Georgia. Savannah is Georgia's First City and one of Americas most picturesque. Being spared from the destruction of the Civil war, Savannah is commonly referred to as the Jewel of the South. Hosting the largest number of registered historic building in the United States. About twenty miles to the north of Tybee, as the gull fly's, is the exclusive resort community of Hilton Head Island, SC. In comparison to the ritzy Hilton Head, Tybee's casually comfortable demur has earned it it's nickname of the Redneck Rivera, or a "Mayberry on margaritas".

But Tybee has more than one secret, and a quick internet search on Wikipedia tells of a more infamous place. "Tybee Island may be best known outside of Georgia as the home of the Tybee Bomb, a nuclear weapon that was lost offshore on February 5, 1958." Wikipedia/tybee island
