Help Keep Tybee Tidy This Weekend at the Beach Sweep!

Welcome to Tybee Island!

Looking for something to do this weekend? Don’t forget about the Beach Sweep going on  this Sunday! Take a day out of your weekend to help keep your coast clean and Tybee Island tidy! Together, Mermaid Cottages, Tybee Beautification Association, the City of Tybee Island, and the Georgia Conservancy will hold a Beach Sweep March 4th.

We’d love to see you there! Just meet at the Tybee roundabout for the beach sweep on Sunday, March 4th, at 10:00am. We’ll work to clean the beach until about 11:30a.m. Trash bags, grabbers, and gloves will be provided, but you are more than welcome to bring your own gloves if you like! It’s a great way to get active and help the beach we all love so much!

We hope to see you this weekend on the beach!

Mermaids in Our Midst: Jane and The Jitterbug Bakery

We’re so excited around here! Our good friend Jane is embarking on a major adventure, and she wants to take Tybee Island right along with her!

Jane Wells is the UX and community lead for WordPress, and she lives here on Tybee. Before she was a web design guru, she was a cook, baker, and manager of healthy cafes and kitchens in tourist lodges. Now, she has a mission to bring both her loves together!

The Jitterbug Bakery will bring a few things to Tybee that she is sorely missing! Jane hopes to open her bakery and provide Tybee Island with a go-to place for coffee, pastry, and yummy vegetarian options. And that’s not all! The Jitterbug will be a space where the community can relax, connect, and even learn!

She’s got the plan in motion, but she needs our help! You can read more about this wonderful project over on her Kickstarter Project page! Not only is there loads of info on her vision for The Jitterbug Bakery, you can learn exactly how you can make this plan a reality for Jane and for Tybee Island! You can even follow Jane through her start-up process and the progress of the entire project at her site, BuyJaneABakery.com! There, you’ll find her blog, information on the project, a link to ways you can help her achieve her goal, and even The Jitterbug Bakery menu!

We can’t wait to help, and we are so excited to see where this adventure leads! Please join us in support of The Jitterbug Bakery. Jane, Mermaid Cottages, and Tybee Island will thank you!
