South Tybee Sandbars Surf Guide
Between Tybee and Little Tybee islands are a series of offshore sandbar breaks that offer excellent longboarding. It's sort of like Canoes at Waikiki. Paddle from the south end of the island out to the whitewater. Long, long rides on small to medium swells at low to mid-tide.
