Lights On for Tybee is this Friday, December 2nd, and it is always a fun time you don’t want to miss. The festivities start up at 6:30 p.m. at the Tybrisa/Strand Roundabout. Come on down to Downtown Tybee Island and enjoy musical performances, dancing, and entertainment! Take a stroll through our beautiful little paradise and shop the quirky mix of shops and restaurants, or just enjoy the Pier and Pavilion. You can make the season even more special by stopping by the “Park of Giving” in the Park of Seven Flags! Donations for the Toys for Tots, Tybee’s Rising Tyde Food Pantry, and The Milton Project will be going on there.

Mermaid Sightings Anyone?

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee, Mermaid Sightings /

Here at Mermaid Cottages, we just love seeing mermaids from all over the place, not just here on Tybee Island. If you’ve read our blog, you might have seen a few mermaid sightings here and there because, when we find one, we love to share!

It’s a lot of work to find mermaids all by ourselves, so we would love your help! Mermaids of all shapes, sizes, and sorts are everywhere if you keep your eyes peeled. If you spot one, snap a picture!

We’d love to hear about your sighting! Please send us your mermaid pictures and stories and we’ll share them with our Mermaid Nation, right here on our blog! You can send your mermaid sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com. We can’t wait to see what you discover out there. Mermaids can (and do) pop up in the most unlikely places! We look forward to hearing from you!
