Checking out Tybee Island
Just beyond the mouth of the Savannah River lies Tybee Island, Savannah's beach playground. When Linda and I stopped at the visitor center in Savannah, one of the workers there spoke about spending time relaxing on the broad beach like someone who'd done it and enjoyed it. We parked the car and headed out on the pier to catch a better view of the beach and some spring sea breeze. Pelicans were cruising over the waves, wheeling, and diving for their dinner. We paused for a while, soaking in the seaside experience before moving on to the Tybee Island Light Station.
