Happy Little Cottages By The Sea
Cottage Charm, Coastal Calm
Memorial Day is for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It’s also a wonderful time to gather with family and friends to enjoy the freedoms and joys our heroes have made possible through their service to our nation. Tybee Island has several events planned to commemorate the holiday. Be our guests and enjoy our patriotic island!

Tybee Sea Turtles are making their way ashore for nesting. Join in our conservation efforts to help them have their best season yet!
🐢🌊 It’s that time of year again! Sea Turtle season has begun on Tybee Island! Keep an eye out for these magnificent creatures as they make their way to our shores. Let’s do our part to protect them and their nests.
📢 The season runs from May 1st to October 31st. The following information is from the Tybee Sea Turtle Project a conservation initiative of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center .
👫Volunteers will be out at dawn to walk the beach every single day, looking for signs of nesting. Here are some reminders for the season –
🐢 If you spot any sea turtle activity including a mom or sea turtle tracks, ✨ leave it alone ✨ volunteers need all the field signs to locate the eggs, so even well-intentioned marking of the crawl or body pit can make that impossible for us. Feel free to stay by it and wait on us, but leave it alone.
🐢 The beaches need to be dark, flat, and quiet. No lights, no sand castles left overnight, no big holes left behind, no tents and chairs as obstacles.
🐢 Help educate others. Many people who visit Tybee are unaware of basic sea turtle friendly habits. Help us help turtles by sharing what you’ve learned so that we can all keep turtles coming back to Tybee.
👉 For updates on the initiative be sure to follow: Tybee Island Marine Science Center

Since a couple of local Tybee Island softball teams had a little fun in 1987, and the waterlogged tradition continues, Tybee’s annual Beach Bum Parade is “the south’s largest water fight”!
Thousands of people will be up on Butler Avenue in anticipation of floats driving by and soaking them with water as they spray right back. It is a family-friendly event focused on fun.
Everyone, young or old, gets to act like a kid.
