Fun Stuff
The Outdoor Inn is located on Tybee Island
within easy walking or biking distance from restaurants, shops,
attractions and quiet streets perfect for families. Of course The
Outdoor Inn is perhaps best known for those who enjoy kayaking
as we back right up to a marsh with access to the Back River and
beyond. Even better, we're right next door to Sea
Kayak Georgia,
where you can rent kayaks if you don't have your own, take lessons
or just venture out on a guided tour. You should also check out
our friends at Savannah
Canoe and Kayak.
Tybee Island is a kayaker's paradise, with
easy access to the Back River, ocean launching, dolphin watching,
marshpaddling
and the "Triangle" for kayak surfing, made famous
in the This is the Sea DVD. The Outdoor Inn is well suited for
kayakers, with plenty of space in the back yard for washing off
kayaks and gear, and outdoor showers to rinse off the sand and
salt water.
Tybee Island attractions of particular note
include:
The
Cockspur Island Light -- Built in 1857 on an oyster bed foundation,
the light is one of several that marks the entrance to the Savannah
River channel.
Fort
Pulaski National Monument --
Located two miles before you get to Tybee Island proper, the
fort was built starting
in 1829 as means of guarding the approach to Savannah.
Today it is surrounded by beautiful marshes and visitors can view
the huge walls, two moats and a wide drawbridge. The fort offers
self-guided tours and other activities. Call for more information:

270 years the Tybee Island Light Station has guided mariners searching
for the Savannah River entrance. Today the light is one of the
most intact in America. It is within biking distance of The Outdoor
Inn.
Coastal Journeys -- Island excursions, eco-nature tours, private charters and more on a private boat tour in the beautiful coastal waters surrounding Savannah and Tybee Island.
