Tybee Pier & Pavilion

The Tybee beach Pier & Pavilion offers so much to the Tybee Island beachgoers, ocean enthusiasts, and fishermen. From a fantastic meeting place as it's just off U.S Highway 80 at the end of Tybrisa Street to people-watching, live events, dancing, and various festivals throughout the year. You can even rent it out for your family events, whether it is a family get-together or reunion, wedding, or birthday. Best of all, admission is free, and it's open daily.

The original pier named Tybrisa Pier and Pavilion was built by the Central of Georgia Railroad in 1891, four years after completing a line from Savannah to Tybee Island. It was a popular place for people escaping the intense summer heat in Savannah and was well-known from day-trippers to seasonal visitors. They lauded Tybee Island as the "Premier South Atlantic Resort" The Pier and Pavilion had an open dance floor amid the coastal setting, which made it a major hit with the Big Band tour and other entertainers for five decades. In 1967 fire destroyed the Tybrisa Pier and Pavilion, but then in 1996, after efforts of the people of Tybee Island and Chatham County, the Tybrisa Pavilion II was built, and it was dedicated on the 9th of August that year.
