Tybee Island Dawn Art

These shrimp boats are docked at Tybee Island, along Georgia's beautiful backwater seacoast. Most succulent of all the shrimp in the world are Fresh Wild Georgia shrimp that are caught daily with turtle-safe nets just off the white sandy beaches of the Georgia Coast. There is a sign on the other side of this blue building that says, "Our shrimp are caught here" with an arrow pointing to the water.

Jellyfish represent a new crop for shrimpers...supplying a huge demand in Asia for cannonball jellyfish, or "Jelly Balls." Eating dried jellyfish is highly nutritious - as one of Asia's most popular foods they are served dried and chopped into small pieces and boiled to add a crunchy texture and remove salt. Their health benefits are that they contain a lot of calcium binding proteins which can help improve memory and help to fight age related cognitive decline. Dried jellyfish contain collagen which may be helpful for the treatment of arthritis as well as used in many beauty products. The jellyfish is mostly protein and water meaning that it is a very lean source of amino acids with very few carbohydrates or fats, making it the perfect diet food.

Tybee Island is an island off the coast of the U.S. state of Georgia; it is one of the Sea Islands and one of the Golden Isles of Georgia. The city of Savannah, Georgia and several other islands, are nearby. Its beaches are frequented by vacationers. Bike trails, walks along the beaches and sandbars are a few of the many things vacationers can do. The island is also full of wildlife, consisting of many different mammals, reptiles, and birds living and breeding in the island's inland marshes. Shrimp boats go fishing from here and dolphin tours are available....
In the late 19th century, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, residents in large, polluted cities frequently sought out remote beaches for summertime getaways. Clear, saltwater breezes were believed to be remedies for various ailments, including asthma and certain allergies. Steamships began carrying patients and tourists to Tybee Island just after the Civil War. In 1887, the Central of Georgia Railroad completed a line to Tybee Island, opening the island to a wave of summer tourists. The railroad built the Tybrisa Pavilion in 1891, and by the end of the decade, several hundred summer cottages dotted the island.

In the 1920s, U.S. Route 80 was completed, connecting Tybee Island via road with the mainland. The Tybrisa Pavilion became a popular stop for Big Band tours, and development pushed toward the island's southern tip. By 1940, the island had four hotels, including the Desoto Hotel and Hotel Tybee, and numerous smaller lodges. The Tybrisa Pavilion burned in 1967, and was replaced by the Tybee Pier and Pavilion in 1996.
