Kayaking Tybee Island with Sea Kayak Georgia is a Must

On our trip to Tybee Island, we knew we wanted to find a way to get out on the water either in a kayak, standup paddleboard, or even a boat. It didn't take long until we stumbled upon Sea Kayak Georiga and saw an array of tour options available (many to Little Tybee Island) and we signed up right away. 

But, as it turns out, the tides around Tybee Island are quite significant and influence a lot about the water activities you can enjoy here- specifically around when you are able to go out on the water to begin with.

For us, this meant a morning tour, and we set our alarm for an early wake-up to enjoy this one!

Tybee Island is a small, approximately 3.3 square mile island located about 30 minutes outside of Savannah that is popular for both day-trippers and vacationers alike.

During our visit to the area, we opted to spend a weekend in order to take in all the sights and really see what Tybee Island was all about.

But prior to booking, we had come across an interesting phenomenon with regards to accommodations on Tybee- the options are either primarily older-looking motels (admittedly with recently updated rooms) or apartment rentals! We decided to go for a private apartment rental and did not look back.

In this one, we wanted to discuss why we did that and also highlight some things to think about when booking a hotel on Tybee Island as the accommodation concerns are a bit unique here.
