the stinginess away and highly suggest you pack some in your beach bag. Just smear some on the wound and then give your child a soda. Any type of sugary beverage or even candy seems to make kids stop crying too. Some people claim that peeing on a jellyfish sting relieves the pain. I have found that this doesn’t work and only makes you look deranged. Dolphin Tours are a big hit with young beach vacationers and luckily Tybee has a couple to choose from! Watching dolphins play in their natural environment is an event you won’t forget. These marine mammals always look like they are smiling and literally will swim right up to the boats. It is pretty spectacular to watch them play in the wake, leap from the water, race the boats... it’s awesome. You’ll love it. Captain Mike’s Dolphin Adventure Tours Tybee has its fair share of cultural activities. There’s Fort Pulaski, The Lighthouse, and The Marine Science Center just to name a few. You can also go on a Beach Ecology Trip with Dr. Joe. This is the best way to learn about marine life on Tybee Island. Kids can find shark teeth, explore tide pools, collect live specimens, and much more. What I find particularly effective is to break the day up. Spend the mornings at the beach before it gets too hot (remember sunscreen!!!!) and then do some fun activities after lunch. Speaking of lunch…. Many children do not like to try new food. Many children will act like you are trying to poison them when you offer them a shrimp or oyster. Dining out can turn into a catastrophe if you can’t please the picky eaters. I know that we are supposed to encourage children to try new things but you’re on vacation. Why fight? Find a restaurant beforehand that will cater to Junior’s special dietary needs. I suggest The Crab Shack, Coco’s Sunset Grill, and Huc-a-Poos for kid friendly dining enjoyment… Tybee Restaurants Don’t forget that when travelling with children a good way to ensure a little grown up relaxation time is bribery. That’s right, simple bribery. Tybee has all types of little inexpensive beach stores, ice cream, and sweet shops. Don’t be afraid to use this to your advantage. A child with an ice cream cone in his/her mouth is child that is not whining….. For more stories, visit our blog at: tybeeisland.com a discover tybee publication 30 tybeeisland.com
