It’s finally here and so are lots of Spring Fun with Tybee Island. What are y’all doing way over there? Just look at what you could be doing this weekend. We’ve still got a few cottages available, so take a plane, take a train or enjoy a one tank trip to our beautiful Georgia coast. Our cottage charm and coastal calm invites you to shuck those coats and clod hoppers. It’s swimsuits and flip flops time!

The Beaches and Creeks of Ossabaw
Fort McAlistar Marina
Admission: $75 per person 5-6 people limit
Phone: 912-236-8115
Motoring past an historic Civil War fort and winding between lush walls of bright green marsh grass, this tour combines natural and human history of coastal salt marsh with the wild beauty of Ossabaw Island. You’ll meander through narrow tidal creeks watching for dolphin, birds, and others that feed off the lushness of our marshes. Stepping ashore you’ll have time for a relaxing stroll of this wild and seldom-visited beach, where you can beachcomb and enjoy the picnic lunch binoculars and bottled water; we provide a cooler and ice for your lunches and water.
And, that’s not all. You can go dancing, snarf down the best bakery goodies you’ll ever eat, take an Eco Tour, climb the lighthouse, hike and bike, surf, sail or just be a beach bum!
Of course, all the best Spring fun on Tybee Island begins with your stay at Mermaid Cottages!
