While summer is drawing closer to an end, there’s still plenty of time to sneak in one last escape. Squeeze in as much fun as possible by planning a late-summer vacation to Tybee Island. Found about 20 minutes from Savannah, this laid-back barrier island is known for its sun-soaked beaches, warm ocean breezes, and endless adventure. To help you plan your unforgettable Georgia summer vacation over Labor Day weekend, the Beachside Colony Resort team has put together a guide of things to do near our beachfront rentals.
Check Out the Tybee Island Labor Day Beach Bash
One of the best things to do on a late summer vacation to Tybee Island is to take part in the Tybee Island Labor Day Beach Bash. Held at the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion, the two-day, family-friendly event over Labor Day weekend features a beachfront concert and festive atmosphere. This free event, complete with a fireworks show on Sunday, is the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer.
