Tybee Island, GA - Perfectly Serene Girlfriend Getaway
When you're lucky enough to have a group of girlfriends that have been there to witness each other's first loves, heartbreaks, weddings, illnesses, birth of children and everything in between, you really should celebrate that special bond with a girlfriend getaway every once in a while. And when you're all tired mamas just looking for a little serenity, a peaceful place to unwind for a few days becomes the top priority. Tybee Island fits that bill. The Southern Georgia coastal town is quite the hidden gem. Located just 20 minutes from Savannah, GA, Tybee Island (also known as Savannah's Beach) has a small town feel. A place to come as you are, no pretentiousness in sight.
There's an abundance of affordable beach rentals here, which makes it easy on all budgets. We found a great place with a nice ocean view so we could sit out for hours and hours on the porch talking and catching up while enjoying the ocean breeze. The beach was clean and quiet and we enjoyed sitting by the water soaking up the south Georgia sunshine every day.
If you're looking to get out and experience a bit of nightlife, there are several great places to dine overlooking the water. AJ's Dockside (http://ajsdocksidetybee.com/) is a great place to sit outside and sip a cocktail while catching a gorgeous sunset. Fannie's on the Beach (http://fanniesonthebeach.com/) is another great place to eat while overlooking the ocean. The food is good and the people watching is even better. If you're in the mood for ice cream (isn't ice cream a beach requirement??), stop by the Sugar Shack (http://www.tybeesugarshack.com/) to get your sweet fix.
I'm very blessed to have a great group of girlfriends that love to get together and enjoy a little break from the frenzied life of a mom. There's plenty to see and do besides eat and lounge, but honestly that's exactly what we were going for with this trip!
