Tybee Island Attractions & Activities for Kids

Kid Friendly Attractions

This kid friendly attraction offers a great opportunity to teach and entertain children of all ages with the history of the Civil War!  The very informative staff provides guided tours of the bunkers, musket/soldier demonstrations, and cannon firings on Saturdays. Learn more about Fort Pulaski.

Tybee Beach Pier

The pier and pavilion offer great fishing, amazing views, and hosts a variety of performances and special events with its open-air dance floor & space. A great place for families with children, the premises offers picnic tables, restrooms, and a snack bar.

The Crab Shack is a must see dining and history experience that encompasses great seafood and so much of the unique personality of Tybee Island. An extremely welcomeing and family friendly establishment, kids love the outdoor waterfront setting topped with baby alligators in the lagoon. Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to eat at one of Savannah’s best dining destinations, right here on Tybee Island.

Oatland Island Wildlife Center

The Oatland Island Wildlife Center has over 100 maritime forest acres that offers more than 150 animals, over 63 species of mammals, avians, reptiles, and amphibians. Walk the mile and a half that links all of the amazing exhibits, or check out the Marsh Board Walk to observe the beauty of the tidal creek and marshes.

This tiny island which measures just 3 miles long and 1 mile wide—is the perfect spot for those seeking a relaxing quiet family day trip. Access to Little Tybee Island is limited as no roads or bridges connect it with mainland Georgia. You must take a boat, kayak, or book an excursion to explore the island.
