A Delightful Stop at Tybee Island: Lighthouses, Local Art, and Amazing Seafood


On our way home from Jacksonville, FL, we decided to make a spontaneous stop at Tybee Island — and I’m so glad we did! The first thing on our list was to visit the famous Tybee Island Light Station & Museum. It’s always such a picture-perfect spot, but today felt extra special.


When we pulled up, we were greeted by a lively outdoor market. What a lovely surprise! Vendors had set up tents all around the lighthouse, selling handmade goods, tasty treats, and all kinds of treasures. I ended up buying a beautiful watercolor painting from a local artist — I love supporting small, independent creatives like that. Then, we sampled some delicious flavored pecans from one of the food stalls. They were so good, we grabbed a couple of bags to take home for snacking.


Of course, we had to snap a few photos with the lighthouse before heading out. Its iconic black-and-white tower against the blue sky never disappoints.

By then we’d worked up an appetite, so we headed down the street to The Crab Shack — one of our all-time favorites. No trip to Tybee Island is complete without their famous seafood platter. It was just as tasty as we remembered: shrimp, crab, oysters, all perfectly cooked and full of flavor.

Our quick visit to Tybee was the perfect detour. From the charming market and friendly vendors to the stunning lighthouse and incredible seafood, it was a beautiful little slice of coastal Georgia that added a whole lot of joy to our trip home.
