One of the best times to visit to relax is in the winter season. November through February the beach is so peaceful and it is one of the best times to go fishing especially in November. Try one of the inshore charters for a great time on my services page. Also camping at the Tybee Island Campground is much better by a warm fire on a chilly night.

During that time the Island was frequented by pirates for a fresh water source and as a hiding spot. By 1670 the British, Pirates,Spanish and Native Americans all fought among the area for control. By 1704 James Moore of South Carolina with the help of Native Americans and a fleet of Pirates invaded the area and pushed back the Spanish to the St. Augustine FL area. At this time the area was depopulated until the English settlers of James Oglethorpe in 1733.
