2015 Tybee ICE Run

Leave a Comment / Events / David Barwick

Put that top down and cruise on over to Tybee Island for the 2015 Tybee ICE Run on October 24th. Simpler times and that small town/hometown feeling takes over as soon as you cross our bridge onto our beautiful and historic island. Show off your ride and enjoy seeing all the other classic and vintage vehicles as we roll the clock back to when automobiles and their style ruled the road. Island Car Enthusiasts ~ I.C.E. is a non-profit organization/custom motorsports club out of Wilmington Island GA that is open to everyone regardless of year, make or model. If you love your ride, two wheels or four, come check them out!

This will be the ICE Car Club’s 7th Annual Charity Hot Rod Show. Find out how to Purchase Tickets & More Information right online and get ready for some real heavy metal on display on the beach side of Hotel Tybee. You’ll just enter through the tunnel under the hotel. This year is all about the animals as ICE is raising money for ONE LOVE ANIMAL RESCUE and THE TYBEE SEA TURTLE PROJECT. You cant find a better venue in The Southeast to show off your ride.

While you’re here, enjoy styling in your ride along the beach, meeting other car enthusiasts and drooling over that one special car that brings back old …

A Funny Thing Happened

Leave a Comment / Events / David Barwick

“A funny thing happened on Tybee…” We’ve all got plenty of stories about our adventures at the beach and Tybee tends to be the perfect backdrop for all sorts of hilarity and shenanigans. Coming soon, we’ll have our own Tybee Comedy Revue and we bet you’ll enjoy the laughter. The curtain is up and the lights are brightly shining at Tybee Post Theater. It’s Show Time, y’all.

Tybee Comedy Revue debuts its fantastic night of stand-up comedy starring nationally known comedian and pianist extraordinaire, Jerry Farber. Jerry lives in Atlanta and is one of the city’s most recognized and acclaimed performers, entertaining there and in comedy clubs around the country for over two decades. His style is inspired by both jazz and comedy greats, from Dave Brubeck and Errol Garner to Woody Allen and Mark Russell.

Opening for Jerry is another Atlanta comedy superstar, Kristi Leigh Snyder, a mega watt amalgam of “Carrie Bradshaw-Liz Lemon blend, with a Monica Gellar undertone; a Julia Sugarbaker bouquet on the nose, with a nice Blanche Devereaux finish.” In other words, she’s a hoot!

We love how Tybee Post Theater has really come into its own. Y’all know Tybee has it’s own cast of characters just walking around every day and now we have a venue to share some really extra special moments. Why hide the good stuff. Let’s put it all up on stage and shine some light on it! It’s all on their website: …

The Big Float

Leave a Comment / Events / David Barwick

We’re very excited about The Big Float coming up this month. No, it’s not a giant ice cream float, but it’s just as much fun! Join us when SweetWater’s Heady Peddlers – SC and Savannah wash up at North Island Surf and Kayak on August 29. We’ll be paddling (canoe, kayak, SUP, floats, etc.) and proceeds from the rental/tour will be donated to the Savannah Riverkeeper! Participants will be given two tickets to be entered into the BOTE raffle for their tie-dye wrapped SUP! Early registration earns you two additional tickets, so call 912-786-4000 to sign up. At the after-party there’ll be a drawing hosted right next door at Bubba Gumbo’s from 5-8 p.m.!

Before you hit the water, you just have to hit the beach and that means you’ll need one of our signature Mermaid Cottages to get the rest of your weekend into ship shape! Here’s a look at a few of our cottages available:
