My wife and I loved Tybee. We spent a day in Savannah and enjoyed the beach the rest of the time. I swear their motto is "No Free Parking on Tybee" and they mean it. Some of the meters represent multiple spots and got a ticket because we didn't realize there was a meter near by. But we learned our lesson and still had a fantastic time.
Tybee and Savannah make a killing off of parking.
No! This is my secret place. Been going here for 20 years. You've let the cat out of the bag. I love it more than Paris!
+Stefanie Sombaty sorry stefanie. I messed up. But it's worth sharing because it's a fun place.
Stefanie Sombaty same here I've been going g
here since I was a baby and I'm traveling there right now
I’m goin to visit my cousins there in a few weeks I’m so excited
What month is the beach not so crowded?
You ain’t even lying because it use to be so nice and one of the things that made it the best was wasn’t over crowded with all these obnoxious people from outta state to liter and destroy everything. Will not be long before the beaches will be so nasty and we’ll start getting warnings about the water being to high in bacteria so you have to stay out of the water. They started making movies down there and everyone and their brother is trying to be TH-cam stars that when they make their videos as well. That’s when it started, all these people from outta state want to come all the time now. Won’t be long before it’s disgusting like the other high tourist beaches. Wish people would just take care of this island that is so near and dear to the state of Georgia. But no they’ll over crowd and make their huge messes on the beach and then go back home
I live in Savannah and was just out there the other day. I love Tybee! Thanks for the tour.
is it crowded on fridays? in June
Love your review of Tybee and Savannah, making me homesick!!!
I love your videos!!!!! Greetings from Milan, Italy 🇮🇹
Mark your family is seriously adorable!
Smoked out
U went to Tybee. I live like 40 min from there. DON'T COME ON SPRING BREAK
Is it really bad? We are planning on Savannah on our (FL) spring break with the kids and I was thinking of a day trip to Tybee. I'll skip it if it's going to be party hardy college kids tho.
I'd do Hilton Head probably then since it's more expensive, the partying kids are likely to stay away. It's further than Tybee, so less convenient though. There is a lot to do there as well.
Sara01977, That won’t stop the rich college kids.
The One 21, Sea 🌊 food 🥘 , I am coming.
@Emily Eisenhower it aint that bad. i was exagerating. that was 3 years ago. my b. i just went there a few days ago
One of my favorite places..amazing food lots of fun..you can climb a lighthouse and your also close to Hilton Head and Beaufort SC.
Love Tybee Island. Greetings from Charlotte.
+Aniuxca Raton thanks AR :) we enjoy our time there too
Dang. That was super comprehensive. Really enjoyed this. Well done. 👍👍
Always great to see new places and get more ideas of places to visit. You give plenty of useful information and this is always welcome.
I was stationed in Savannah for 9 years. It's my home away from home.
Savanna native, since moved north, when we come home it is mainly in the late winter or early spring to go cycling. Christie’s has been there for forever, I will be 61 this year, and went there for fries. an a burger when little. My grandparents knew the original owner and use to ride the train to Tybee. We normally park on one of the public parking areas before Ft. Pulaski and then cycle the rest to the beach. My favorite area is around the old fort, but most of it has been sold the become homes. I have photos from the late 1800’s when a family member was stationed there.
Yay! I flipped through your vids forever to find this! Was hoping for one with just Savannah. Thank you for reviewing our beloved city!
Hey Mark don't miss out on St.Simon's Island and Jekyll Island Georgia one hour south of Tybee.
Gloria Jeans has the best crab cakes!! I crave them when I'm back in Chicago. :)
You two are the best and your videos are both informative and inspirational! Thanks for all the advice you share.
I love Tybee!! When I was there, stopped at family owned restaurant and purchased homemade rolls the size of a pie plate that were stuffed with Swiss cheese and Onions. They were so delicious, and only cost like a dollar fifty
Awesome! I love Tybee Island. Was just there 4th of July week. I love that the beach is so close when staying in Savannah. We had our niece and she loved the big waves crashing over us and had so much fun. We did the dolphin watching too from a boat but they were really close to the shore.
❤ the 🍕 atmosphere
You're videos are so informative man, great job! Please keep them coming!
Also, you're spot on about the cottages. For the same money you get a house all to yourself.
My nephews' school go on school trip every year there and I was always curious about the place. Thank for the video.
Lost Weight! You look good.
I liked Savannah this winter. Perfect weather, pretty much. I was amazed how warm it was.
I love this guys vibe
I like this guy and hopefully see you soon at Tybee Island!
Morning from sydney
I love the word accoutrement!
Hey mark i love your videos about germany as im going in 2 weeks they have taught me so much about the country thanks
Aaliyah Andrew glad we could help. Have a great trip!
I got back from Brazil and followed your tips about Rio and it was an amazing 5 months! Tybee Island looks cute!
+Jake Vlogs thanks Jake. Glad the videos helped.
I'd love to go to Brazil for 5 months!
I live 20 mins from the beach and it’s amazing but don’t come during spring break and make sure that you’re not coming on Orange Crush
is it crowded on friday in June?
Thank you
Hiya, Mark! Your guidance came in Extremely Handy when we traveled to Italy in April/May, and I just wanted to say Thank You. The whole Rick Steves thing seemed too....I dunno...Smug?...for our tastes, but we DID need some heads-up stuff. Also, last year at this very time of year, we were in Tybee, though being empty nesters, we were more interested in the Lighthouse than the beach---we live in Key Largo, Florida, and there's a private park in our development, so we can get our beach on just about anytime. Thanks again!
Several years ago we ate at A-Js so good we always ask the locals for the best spots. Love your videos using them to get some ideas for my adults only trip YaY!!
What a beautiful place. I saw that it was the location where LAST SONG, the movie with Miley Cyrus, was filmed. I 'd love to visit it next time I go to USA.
Omw there now...loved ur video thanks for the tips and ideas❤️
Love your family. Thanks for the hints.:)
I'm descended from the Gullah people of the South Carolina Sea Islands. The Gullahs also inhabited the Georgia Sea Islands. Barrier islands. Did you and your family explore the Gullah people's culture -- not on the mainland but among the islands? Just curious because in media, rarely are Gullah given credit for many rich cultural traditions that tourists who go there love: the baskets, the food...
Mariposa Papillon ❤. I did work on Daufuskie Isl while in college. Specifically we were documenting vernacular architecture on thr island. Those buildings were built by Gullahs and their descendents. Such a rich culture and history all over the sea islands! Lucky you to be a part of that!
Eh-EH! Jocelyn!, that so awesome! I'm hoping that our culture survives and all our lands don't get overtaken by golf courses and resorts. :( Merci Bien, Jocelyn. Big ups to the Wolters Family -- y'all ROCK!!!
Mariposa Papillon there are wonderful people working hard to keep those damn golf courses out! 😁👍👍
Mariposa Papillon where are you now?
Thank goodness! Phew! :)
Thanks for the great video! Very informative.
I really enjoy your videos and commentary
Great video. I wish I had known about Tybee Island when I went to Savannah.
Can you make a video in Madison, WI? It's a great city that is often overlooked. Frank Lloyd Wright houses, awesome parks, great beers.
Stayed at the Savannah Beach Racquet Club and went out into the water and dolphins would come right up to us!
This is THE only video I didn't see before I left for Tybee from May 31st to June 4Th, 2019! We stayed @ the Mermaid Cottages which were absolutely lovely, close to the beach and though larger than we needed, they were less expensive than the hotels. We had the option of eating at the cottage and that helped! There is ONE fast food chain store there! An Arby's! ONE! We found out that if you don't get seated for dinner at other restaurants by 6:30, don't be surprised if you're turned away! They had a larger than usual crowd and we were told that they were full and couldn't seat any more folks. We were also told that if you order take out and have it delivered, (which many restaurants do,) we needed to do it by 8:00 or they couldn't deliver. We actually wound up eating pizza from a less than perfect pizza shop, but they did deliver! I wish we had brought crab with us or bought crab to cook at the cottage. They had a lovely area outside where we could eat and though we had a sort of swamp directly behind the cottage, we were never bothered by bugs. We were however burned to a crisp in spite of using a sunblock that was supposed to keep us from remotely changing any other color than the one we had when we got there. We burn easy so we were concerned and did what we were supposed to and it was an epic fail! I was also taking pictures for the cottages as I do a mermaid character for charities and the like, near (NOT ON - just in case you aren't familiar - Jetties are made to shred you!) the jetty @ N. beach where they suggested the pictures be taken because the photos would look more eye-catching. Afterward, we went toward the mid area and were having a great time swimming when a sudden rip came in. The lifeguards flew a flag quickly but we weren't where we could see it. They were whistling but we couldn't hear for the waves suddenly hitting the shore. In a split second, we were being pulled out to sea. Well, I was. My husband who is very body dense knows the mechanics of swimming but his body doesn't cooperate. He sinks especially in a rip current! He was being pulled out to the jetty. I was fine floating out to sea. So out came the lifeguards! I'm floating toward the boats which could speed right over me but rather calm except for worrying about my husband being put through the jetty meat grinder. A boat even slowed down and some kid yelled, "Hey Mom, There's a mermaid in the water!" Did they help? Nope! They took pictures! They may have a video on here somewhere! So they go off. I do the only thing I could, I waved goodbye, and just waited for a little girl lifeguard the size of a kid's Barbie doll fighting the current to come to get me! I asked if someone was taking care of my husband. She assured me they were and he was fine and already on shore. I grabbed the floatation device and she says, " Wow, you're really easy to tow!" I told her I was using my tail so I was helping as much as possible. She laughed and said, "By the way, your make-up looks awesome!" I explained that I was ready for the worst-case scenario. In the event that I died, we'd save money and not need the cosmetologist! She told me I was really fun to rescue. Most folks are panicking and don't ever make her laugh she said! I thanked her and explained I was glad she enjoyed the rescue but I didn't plan on repeating the situation. She was cute as she could be. A young gentleman kept asking how I felt. You always have to worry about dry drowning of course. He said he wanted to take me to the hospital to be checked out. How did I feel? I answered, "I'm pissed! At the ocean! I'm pissed! Otherwise, I'm dandy! How's my husband?" I was worried he might need treatment but he was fine, just tired. We left the beach along with a huge group of folks since everyone was being called in. The young lady, Maddie, told me that this was a fast rip current! They don't usually come that fast!. Knowing that they can is scary! So seriously don't go too far out from shore. Watch those kids because a rip can apparently come in as close to only 2 feet of water deep. The next day, things were beautiful. We went on an enchanting dolphin tour (Shout out to Capt. Gator and 1st mate Ashley!) then left to go to the beach early enough. Afterward, we headed out to find overpriced nicknacks for us, family and friends. That was the night we headed to find food and learned the vile truth about finding food or actually, NOT finding food that easily on the island! We did a stopover in Savannah on the way home but would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the history, the myths and folklore of the area! We would love going back and staying long enough to enjoy both places a bit more! So, the moral of this book, learn from our mistakes and have a great time!
My daughter lives there, I stay for FREE, beat that.There is camping on the island, near light house great beach town.
Thanks so much for the info! We are going today
You should come to Liverpool, England! Love your vids
Bbb999902 I've been to manchester and really liked it
kfc ilovetoeat Manchester is lovely, I just find Liverpool a lot more relaxed, doesn't seem as fast and full of roadworks there haha
I was just in Manchester the week of the terrorist attack. I really admired how everyone came together to support one another. It was a fantastic city with so much to see and do.
I haven't been to Britain, but ever been to the U.S.? This is in the southeastern part of the country on the Atlantic coast where there are more beaches than you can imagine from Florida to Virginia.
Omg wtf you're in my hometown! Enjoy! Beware the bugs, though.
Has he been from Ga this whole time????
Hi to you and your family. ❤️
Bobsuruncle Mum nope, I lived in Sav for almost a decade(the longest I've lived anywhere). I was never going to leave (until Mark wooed me away with promises of travel and many visits 'home'), I love it and it's my favorite city in America!
Bobsuruncle Mum bugs???? What bugs???
Hey Mark! I've actually never heard of Tybee Island, but it looks super cool (and 'Murican)! Excited for future videos ✌🏼😄
MakingMoments where are you from?
Who's Jackie?
Love this! We are bringing our crab traps ...
Can we do some crabbing while we’re there?.... and where at?
You're in GA what! Welcome! Love Tybee, have your been to Cumberland Island?
Denise Jackson I haven't but I think jocelyn has. We will be back in October again
It looks like y'all had a great time in Tybee! Georgia has a ton of great places to see. High falls??
Is it possible to ask you about some places in France?
Denise Jackson ask away!
Jocelyn Wolters I've been to Paris multiple times but I'm trying to get off the beaten path this trip. Do you know or reccomend any cool cities or places? I was looking into Provence and Marseille. I'm thinking 3 or 5 cities.
Denise Jackson we spent Christmas in Provence a few years ago and loved it. Avignon and Arles were my favorites. We missed Aix en Provence but my MIL loves that town above all others. I've not been to Marseilles. We all really loved Normandy, it is moving beyond words and terribly picturesque. The Loire valley is architecturally very rich, I enjoyed seeing the chateau where DaVinci spent his last days...just to give you another choice. France has many unique regions, all worth exploring. We have videos on all these areas and more so just zip through those for more specifics. Happy travels!
Love your videos and advice! From Cornelia, GA (near Helen) All the best!
Love, love, love your beach shots! Thanks for including them in your videos.
there is an app now for your phone for the parking. you don't have to go back to your car to put more time on it. your phone tells you when!
Goooooo Dawgs!!!!!
chicotel09 ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice video. Have you done HIlton Head (Bluffton), Sullivan Island, Isle of Palms and Charleston? All great places if you like Savannah and the area!
Boat Lover yes to all for me. The boys haven't been to Sullivans Isl though. Love me some Bluffton and Beaufort!
Love the video
Great video! Thanks. Liked and subscribed!
Best hotels
Going there this weekend this time is with family but2 year's ago it was wild with a friend
Hey, you you think you might go to India, It is a difficult place to travel and you could probably help. Also its like 3 hours away from bankbook and 6 from vietnam, both of which are great.
I want to live there...
We are going next July! Can you recommend a place to stay? At least 2 bedroom 2 bath.
Dziękuję za przesłanie mi tego filmu.
i go to tybee every year and it is awesome but it hot up there
Coming there end of June! Is there kayaking?
Going to Savannah next week. Arriving on Saturday afternoon and would love to go on and take kids to see the ocean that afternoon/evening. No swimming, just to eat and walk the shore.
Have heard it is super crowded on summer weekends. So is that a bad idea? Worried about traffic and parking.
We have lots to do in Savannah too. But also would like to go to the beach a day or two and spend some time swimming, etc. Are weekdays better for beach?
Thanks. We are excited
i'm going on vacation this year here and it's going to be an 11 and a half hour drive because i live in Ohio
Also if you find the Tybee bomb the government will give you ( I think) $50,000
Anthony Foster 😂😂😂😂
Anthony Foster lol true
I heard it got found this week
Go to Jekyll Island or Hilton Head instead!
oh cool i live on tybee.
What house would you recommend to rent? Website to find them? Agency? Just wondering how to find a decent house to rent and how to get it? So if you have a link or anything or one you can recommend that would be great. I assume Ubers and Lyft is down there? Because I really don't want to drive haha.
Thanks for telling everyone about the best kept secret on the East Coast, big mouth! Tybee is great. Of course not during spring break, - Orange Crush. But, its no the less an adorable little beach town. No corporate stores allowed there....if you want McDonalds or Starbucks this is not the place to go. Places to stay are usually rented houses and they start at $175.00 a night (and up...way up) You'll be renting a house if anything at all...they have a couple of mom-pop hotels but they are not very nice. If you need something that isn't at the local IGA (which is small) you'll have to drive in to Savannah....because there isn't a lot of shopping unless you want t-shirts. Also, there is NO FREE PARKING anywhere. And if you park without paying - and I mean - anywhere....you are going to get a giant juicy ticket or TOWED....don't do it, don't even think about. That parking money is revenue for that city and they take parking very seriously. You can not park on a side street in front of someone's home...they cant wait to have your car/truck towed....so know that going in.....
I appreciate your videos. Thank you!
I’ve got that 31 flip flops bag!!
MY NEXT WILL BE THERE.
Low Country Boil for dinner at the Crab Shack,got real live gators there. Tons of Dolphins. Military Town.Beer on the beach I'm for that this is ,illegal in Jersey.
i live in savannah so lucky
Question, is it usually crowded on Friday’s in June?
When are you coming to California?
Come on
Is the water always murky?
Hi Mark! Everyone I've sent to the Crab Shack, "Where the elite meet to eat in their bare feet", has loved it. Isn't AJ's a chain? I know they have a couple o locations in Florida. The lighthouse on Tybee is gorgeous! You should have made it front and center :)
cadyc3 lol my bff worked at the crab shack when she was in nursing school. Ajs may be a chain, I'm not aware of any others, but the fact is our Ajs has the best dern sunsets 😊
Jocelyn that is so cool! I love Savannah, Tybee, all of the Low Country up to Charleston.
There is an AJs in Destin FL on the harbor, it has amazing views and a great deck.
My home 💙
Go Dawgs
MARK PLEASE REPLY my family takes is to Greece every year and is there a cool place that is interesting to travel to that's different and hot PLEASE REPLY
+AlexSK if you go October through March you should be fine
Fun Fact Tybee Was The Place To Go Back in the 1800s for dual. Have a beef with someone. Challenge them to a dual and than head to Tybee and dual it our. Tybee is a very quirky little place. Do not expect normal. Make sure you put l;ife jacket on your kids that has a tether. The Rip current is horrible and will drag you and your especially your kids off.
My fiancé is stationed at ft Stewart....I’m moving an hour from there from ky, TN area.
I was there Saturday and got sunburned
Are the homes expensive on this beach or nearby??
Been here .really preety
What if you absolutely despise the beach?
+Peter Mcnany drink or head into savannah
Peter Mcnany There is history and a sea turtle center
Hi 👋🏽 I'm going to China in a couple days I have connecting flight and checked bags for each fight do I have to get my checked bag from off the belt thank you!!
Are there 4wd beaches?
Mark, would you say Tybee Island is worth driving all the way from Houston for?
I say it is for long distance travel to spend a week. I used to live in the Atlanta area where it is a 4 hour 30 minute drive where I was with good traffic. I use to leave real early on the drive there and getting there at between 10 and 11 AM and spend a good 7 to 8 hours at the beach and driving back all on the same day every year either once or twice.
That's an old truck at 4:53!
Do they have a Pompano Joe's there?
Hi mark
+AlexSK hi Alex :)
Wolters World good morning from Canada 🇨🇦
+AlexSK good morning from your neighbor to the south :
wants to move there.
Beware, Parking is now $3.50 per hour.
Worst sand on east coast....
I live five seconds from tybee if you go on the fourth of July ...sorry
💙
