We randomly picked a beach when we visited Tybee Island. Decided on North Beach, since there was…read moreeasily accessible paid parking, short walk to the beach, not crowded, blue umbrellas and chairs to be rented, calm waves, and quiet ambiance. Loved the environment. The lighthouse was in sight. There was a restaurant, outdoor showers and restroom. Very peaceful waves and just for a relaxing hour or couple of hours. Beach is also very well maintained: did not see any trash on the beach. Will definitely come again when visiting Savannah and Tybee Island.

The lighthouse and battery are on this end of the island and there are a couple literally beach-side restaurants here. The great thing about the paid parking on the island is that once you pay for an amount of parking time, you can park at any of the pay to park areas...if say, like us, you started at one end of the island, but ended up wanting to drive back to the other end. It's an island. There are beaches. This is a good one. I wish I could go back immediately.

My favorite of the two coastal forts we visited on our trip…read more Fort Pulaski is in fine condition minus the damaged walls in certain locations where signs of battle are still visible. The ranger talk was particularly animated and informational. Fascinating that this was Robert E. Lee's first post after graduating from West Point as an assistant engineer, but he left before completion of this Third System fort. He returned as General Lee in 1860 and proclaimed, "Colonel, they will make it very warm for you with shells from that point but they cannot breach at that distance." But, due a new type of rifled cannon, it took only 30 hours for Confederate soldiers to surrender the fort. For the remainder of the war it primarily served as a staging post for soldiers entering and leaving the war as well as a jail. The location on Cockspur Island is rugged beautiful and you can look north towards Hilton Head Island. it is surrounded by a moat and there are many displays in the interior of the fort and you can walk all around the upper parapet to get lovely views of the area. There are several stairways to reach the upper level, but keep children in hand since there are no railings on the top (inside). As an aside, I had never heard of Casimir Pulaski, but he is the father of the American cavalry and everyone in Illinois is well acquainted because they honor him with a school holiday. To quote Lin Manuel Miranda, "Immigrants, they get the job done." There were many human touches still part of the fort, from hand and foot prints in the bricks to graffiti left by soldiers who lived here. Definitely a great spot to visit just outside of Savannah.

Loved our trip to see the fort! It was my favorite experience (apart from the beach) during our…read moretime down at Tybee! If you have any interest in history, go see it! In their visitor center, they have a film that goes through the history of the fort. In the fort they have a gift stop and you can walk through the whole fort at your own leisure. They have tours that occur throughout the day if you'd like a more in depth walk through of the fort. They have walking trails as well. Overall, 10/10.

As soon as you step out there you get that relaxing coastal feeling and it is hard not to slow down and enjoy it. My kids and I had fun ankle deep in the cool April water. We spent time walking up and down the shoreline, listening to the waves roll in, and just taking it all in. The beach felt clean and well kept, and there was plenty of space to spread out without feeling packed in. It made it easy to relax whether you wanted to sit back in a chair, play with the kids, or just wander along the water. The atmosphere really stands out here. It has that perfect mix of family friendly and laid back beach town energy. You see people fishing, kids playing, and others just soaking up the sun. It never felt overwhelming, just a great steady vibe all around. It is also a great spot if you like simple beach activities. Whether it is swimming, shell hunting, or just dipping your feet in the water, everything feels easy and enjoyable. Watching the waves and the open water was easily one of the highlights of the day. Overall this is the kind of place you can spend hours at without even realizing it. Beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere, and just an all around great experience. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid beach day.

A lot less people were out which was nice and the sunset was one of a kind.

Fairly walkable (once you GET TO the island), cute restaurants and bars, touristy shops, and a nice long strip of pretty clean beachfront. A museum and a lighthouse to visit as well. Fresh seafood to eat at pretty much every restaurant. I loved my initial afternoon visit to the island, but I was enchanted by my weeklong stay on Tybee. It was beautiful and relaxing and I am glad I opted to stay on the island and travel in to the city as I wanted rather than the other way around. Though both have their plus sides!

I think that due to the distance from Savannah, this pier does not get a lot of usage compared to others in the area. The pier side of the creek also contains a boat ramp about a one-half mile from the pier, with the pier situated at the end of the road. There are no public facilities or running water at the pier, with two portable restrooms the only structures located there. While fishing, there are great views of the Lazaretto Creek Bridge. Visible on the other side of the creek are several fishing and charter boats, jet skiers, kayakers and several restaurants. In between catching fish, activity from these businesses is more than enough to keep you occupied while enjoying the picturesque views. It is never too busy at the pier, with weekend traffic consisting of about ten people. Consider Lazaretto Fishing Pier if you desire a peaceful and scenic fishing experience.
