Lights out-Save the sea turtles
SeaTurtle nest
Alert
Lights out policy
Not only is it unkind to disturb the nests along the South Carolina coast it is also illegal. Loggerhead turtles are considered to be an endangered species. Here are some simple ways that you can help assist with their survival and the new baby turtles while enjoying a beach vacation.
- Comply with the “lights out” policy if you are staying in an ocean front building
- Remove your beach chairs and umbrellas from the beach in the evening
- Do not leave any trash or plastic on the beach
- Return any sandcastles or holes to the original surface when leaving the beach
- Never disturb a nest, a nesting turtle or a hatchling
Doing these things will help the turtles from getting disoriented, tangled, trapped or unable to reach the nest.
If you are a new visitor to the beach, after taking a short walk you will likely find it preposterous, that anyone would want to disrupt the lives of wildlife.

She sells sea shells by the sea shore-Tybee Island, Georgia
Tybee Island Georgia a vacation destination on the southeast coast of the US.
This cozy oceanside community located just east of Savannah Georgia offers something for all ages. With a wide variety of lodging options, including hotels, timeshare resorts, privately owned beach cottages, oceanview homes, creekside properties and campgrounds. The Coastal colors throughout the community, the salt air and the light surf all says it’s time to relax.
The scenic marsh drive on US highway 80 from Savannah to the island offers a peak of the wildlife that makes the marsh and rivers their home. Upon entering the island you will find a great variety of services available so don’t worry if you forgot something at home.
Within minutes you will sense the casual charm and the southern hospitality of this coastal Georgia barrier island.
During your stay, besides the lovely 5 miles of Public beach access, there is so much to do.
Here are a few tips:
The Lighthouse and Light Station
Fort Screven and the Tybee Island Museum
Tybee Island Pier & Pavillion-there is no entry fee, but a fishing license is required to fish
Spend a day touring Savannah
Meanwhile, back at the beach
And in the great spirit of America, yes we have Flamingo’s, one of the most loved lawn ornaments! https://easyrealestate.blog/2018/05/26/flamingo-osis-in-america/
My catch and release of the day
This is a fisherman”s paradise, and if you have never done crabbing or shrimping get a net! There is the ocean pier and the back river pier.

My overall review for Tybee Island as a vacation destination would be a YES!
The weather year round is mild, summers are hot and muggy, but you’ll have a beach breeze.
