Welcome to summer on Tybee Island! Whether you are a tourist or a local,
I’m sure you will be spending a fair amount of time on our beach. With
that in mind, please be aware of our beach rules. They are located at each
crossover and are posted for your safety:
1. Obey the lifeguards – They don’t just sit in their chairs to look cool
(even though they do). They work hard to keep us safe.
2. Swim within 50 yards of shoreline – You endanger not only yourself,
but those that have to save you.
3. Litter must be contained – Leave only your footprints. Please!
4. No glass or breakable containers – It’s all about broken glass, folks.
5. No pets – No one wants to step in doggy poop or get bitten.
6. No motorized vehicles – The beach is an awesome place to ride your
bike, not so much for motor vehicles.
7. Do not remove any live marine animals – sand dollars, starfish,
etc. Let’s respect our ecosystem. Live and let live.
8. Stay out of the dunes – Our beautiful dunes are there for a reason.
They are our first line of defense against coastal storms and beach erosion.
Believe me, we are still having nightmares about Hurricane Matthew and
Irma.
9. Surf and fish only in designated areas – It’s all about safety!
10. No fires or camping on the beach – We have a beautiful campground
for that.
11. No disorderly conduct, kegs, or nudity – We are a family beach, just
saying…
Beach Warning Flags
The Beach Warning Flags are located at the Lifeguard stations. They
let you know the condition of the water. Please pay attention to them:
Green Flags - This is good and it’s safe to go in the water.
Yellow Flags - There is a medium hazard.
Red Flags - The rip currents are strong and you should keep a close eye
on your children.
Purple Flags - Dangerous marine life, usually jellyfish.
