Tybee Island Pier

Constructed in 1891, historic Tybrisa Pier served as one of the area’s premier tourist destinations for decades; its airy pavilion was a noted entertainment venue for “big band” music performances. Sadly, the original pier was destroyed by fire in 1967 - but thanks to the fundraising efforts of dedicated locals, a new structure, Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion, was built and opened in 1996. Take a stroll down to the end of the pier and gaze out over the water or enjoy an afternoon of fishing. The pavilion can also be rented out for special occasions.
