Best sunset surf spots in Tybee Island

Sunset session picks in Tybee Island

West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.

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.

Beach facing
E-facing (105°)
Evening 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.
