Save The Planet Party

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee / David Barwick

Tybee Island is having a Save the Planet Party, so start planning your next great beach getaway where you can be environmentally responsible, too! We’re going to raise money to help provide paper and reusable bags to Tybee businesses who want to do the right thing without having to incur the upfront costs. You, too, can help us get started by saying no to plastic bags.

So, plan on being here with us on Saturday, August 8th when we gather down at Huc-A-Poos Bites and Booze from 3-9 p.m. There’ll be Live Music, a dunking booth, crafts, a corn hole tournament, face painting and lots of the Poo’s famous pizza!

Tybee’s Happy Movies By The Sea

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee / David Barwick

It’s Summer and that means it’s time for Tybee’s happy movies by the sea! Every third Saturday evening during the summer months, Tybeetians and beach goers plop down for a picnic and a movie at Memorial Park. These family friendly movies will be projected on the side of the Tybee Gym compliments of the City of Tybee Island’s Development Authority and Tybee’s Main Street Program and Partners. On Saturday, August 15, we’ll be watching Earth To Echo!

Tuck, Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to change. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys begin receiving a strange series of signals on their phones. Convinced something bigger is going on, they team up with another school friend, Emma, and set out to look for the source of their phone signals. What they discover is something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small alien who has become stranded on Earth. In need of their help, the four friends come together to protect the alien and help him find his way home. This journey, full of wonder and adventure, is their story, and their secret.

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend at the beach, so make your visit even more special with a stay in one of our happy cottages by the sea. Here’s a look at a few of the cottages available: …

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee / David Barwick

It’s February and that means it’s A Whole Month of Puppy Love With Mermaid Cottages! All month, pets stay free and some pet guests even receive a Mini Morsel Pet Portrait Session with Oh Joy! And, while you’re here, be sure to get out and enjoy all the pet friendly adventures around Tybee Island and Savannah! For instance, this coming Sunday, February 8th, is Super Museum Sunday! Join the Georgia Historical Society from noon-4 p.m. for Super Museum Sunday when over 40 cultural institutions, historic sites, house museums, art museums, and other points of interest in Savannah and coastal Georgia open their doors to the public. The event is free and open to the public (For more information contact the Georgia Historical Society).

In particular, I love the pet adventures when I visit Fort Pulaksi National Monument. This national treasure has it all. There are interpretive programs, miles of lush walking trails through more than 5000 acres of coastal marshlands, a 150 year old lighthouse, and an abundance of wildlife. Dogs are allowed throughout the grounds; just remember they must be leashed and under their owner’s control at all times. …
