It’s a love thing on Tybee Island.  Summer is here and that’s when the love darts start flying all over.  Kissy faces and goo-goo eyes fit right in with barefoot beach strolls and hand holding with the one you love.  Here are 15 ways Tybee Island is even more special when you celebrate it here in a happy little house by the sea.
