Mermaids are everywhere this summer! This week’s sighting, like last week, is a multiple! Deanna, a local mermaid-lover right here in Savannah, was spending the day on Tybee Island recently and snapped these pictures of three lovely mermaids. These fabulous maidens all make their home in Tybee’s own Atlantic Beacon Gallery, right on Butler Avenue. How exciting…getting a mermaid sighting from our own back yard!

Aren't they fabulous? So sassy!

Mermaids aren’t the only thing you can find in the Atlantic Beacon Gallery, you know. The gallery is chock-full of wonderful local and regional art, so make sure to visit next time you are on the island. It is definitely a must-see! You can even follow them on their Official Facebook page, so make sure to check them out there too! Thank you so much for sending in your sightings Deanna, we love them all!

Have you seen a mermaid? They seem to be just about everywhere! If you have a sighting, please share it with us. We’d love to see it and share it with our readers! Please send your sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com. We can’t wait to hear from you soon!
