Roads and Junctions We Know on Tybee Island
Tybee Island sits at the end of Highway 80, about twenty miles east of downtown Savannah. Highway 80 crosses the Bull River and Lazaretto Creek bridges and becomes Butler Avenue, the main street that runs the length of the island. Tybrisa Street leads to the pier, Meddin Drive runs past the lighthouse at the north end, and the side streets are numbered from north to south. The corners locals know best are Butler Avenue at Tybrisa Street, Butler Avenue at 14th Street and Highway 80 at the Lazaretto Creek bridge.
Highway 80 is the only road on and off the island, so a breakdown on a summer weekend can back traffic up for miles. King tides and heavy storms sometimes put water over low stretches of Highway 80 near the marsh, and it pays to check the tide before you head out.
Landmarks and Things to Do on Tybee Island
The Tybee Island Light Station has guided ships into the Savannah River for generations, the Tybee pier and pavilion stand at the end of Tybrisa Street, and Fort Pulaski National Monument sits on Cockspur Island just before the bridges. North Beach, the Marine Science Center and the restaurants along Butler Avenue draw crowds all summer.
Most parking on the island is paid, in public lots and on the streets near the beach, and spaces fill early on weekends. Tell us the exact lot or street, the nearest beach access and the color of the car when you call.
Weather and Your Car on Tybee Island
Cars on Tybee face salt spray, blowing sand and strong summer sun every day. Salt rusts brakes, exhaust parts and battery terminals, sand gets into door seals and wiper blades, and a car parked in a sunny beach lot all afternoon builds up heat that is hard on the battery and the A/C.
Storms come in fast off the ocean, and hurricanes have pushed water across the island in past years. Rinse the underside of the car with fresh water after a beach trip, and have it checked if it ever sits in salt water.
Common Car Problems We Fix Near Tybee Island
Tybee calls are mostly flat batteries after a long day at the beach with the doors open and the radio on, keys locked in or fobs that stop working in the heat, A/C that blows warm, overheating in summer traffic on Highway 80 and squealing brakes from the salt air. We also handle starters, alternators, belts and hoses.
Rentals, Golf Carts and Long Weekends
Tybee is full of visitors in vacation rentals, and many arrive after a long drive on I-95 or I-16. A road trip car that will not start at a rental house can spoil a long weekend, so tell us the rental address and where the car is parked. If you are driving a rental car, call the rental company first, since many want to arrange repairs themselves. Locals who use golf carts around the island still need their car ready for the drive into town.
Getting a Mechanic to You on Tybee Island
