We’ve had a lot of questions about “Is Tybee Island Open?” and our answer to that is a resounding YES! However, the government and local businesses on the island are all closely monitoring Federal and State recommendations along with CDC guidelines to help ensure we all do our part to elevate any additional community impacts from COVID.Â
So, like everyone, we are always posed to adapt just in case something changes, but overwhelmingly we are seeing businesses, attractions, and the general public relaxing rules and opening up with more normalcy. Below are just a few of the exciting updates we have to share with visitors planning to travel to Tybee Island during the summer of 2021.
