There are plenty of great beaches in Georgia. Our barrier islands are beautiful. You’ll find many visitors to places like Jekyll Island and Tybee Island, particularly in the summertime months when tourism hits its peak. But did you know we’ve also got a remote island in the Peach State were you can find all kinds of peace? Little Tybee Island is just off the coast of the more famous Tybee Island, but you can only reach it via boat or kayak. Due to the remote location, it doesn’t get nearly the number of visitors you’ll find at the better-known Tybee Island. This place is stunning!

Little Tybee Island is separated from Tybee Island by the Back River. It’s only accessible by boat.

If you don’t have a boat, there are several marinas on Tybee with boats, jet skis, and kayaks for rent. All are appropriate methods for reaching Little Tybee Island.
