Tybee Island has been named one of the top 10 Healthiest Beaches in the Country by Health Magazine! This is based on how clean the beaches is, the water quality, the number of healthy activies available and even the places to eat that offer healthy food!
NBC’s The Today Show just ran a story on the beaches and annouced on Friday’s show that Tybee Island, GA is the Number 1 most healthy beach in the country!! Yeah!!! Here is the link to watch the clip from the show:
Here’s how they picked the locations in their own words:
“We started with a list of the 50 most popular beach and lake towns in the country (as defined by the total number of vacation days tourists spend there) from the American Automobile Association. To arrive at our top-10 list, our judges rated places in five categories: quality and cleanliness of air, water, and, sand; range of fitness opportunities; healthfulness of local restaurants; safety measures, including the presence of lifeguards, how close the town is to a major trauma center should an emergency come up, and the crime rate; and affordability of accommodations (based on the average rates in July, provided by Smith Travel Research).”

Thank you Health Magazine and The Today Show for helping spread the word about what a great place Tybee is to visit and live.
I grew up in Atlanta and we used to go to Savannah and Tybee Island for long weekends. My memories of Tybee Island are from the early 70's and I am certain it has changed drastically since then. Congrats on being named in the top 10 Healthiest Beaches. Love your blog, by the way!
Had I clicked on the list before commenting, I would have know that Coronado (which is where I live) is second on the list!
