Tybee Island
pier
lower-intermediate
Tybee Island's pier and sandbars produce wedgy right and left peaks when E/SE swells hit at mid tide. The spot relies on tropical hurricanes and winter nor'easters for consistent surf but can turn on in the fall with chest‑high waves. It's a fun, mellow wave for lower‑intermediate surfers.
Early access
Walk from the parking lot to the pier; surfers must stay clear of fishing zones. Choose an empty sandbar north or south of the pier to avoid crowds.
Parking
Parking lots near the pier require a fee; use the meter or app. Avoid busy weekends when spaces are scarce.
