Tybee Island GA Walkway To The Sea......By Reid Callaway
Sunrise Seascape Art
This is a sunrise over a walkway across natural grasses to the beautiful, super-wide, sandy beaches at Tybee Island, Georgia on the Atlantic Ocean.
The sand dunes along the southeastern coast of Georgia are protected by walkways and dune fences to keep the windswept sand on the beach and beachcombers from walking on the tender natural grasses that grow along the Georgia coastline.
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.
Cecil B. Day opened the first Days Inn on Tybee Island in 1970.
