The Beach

The beach at Tybee Island is free public access. It is a true treasure on a wonderful island. The beach is kept free because every day from 8 am to 8 pm you pay for parking. The exceptions are those business with their own parking lots, like the grocery store. The residents of the island are able to purchase a permit for $150.00 per year. There are pay meters and devices that dispense parking permits for cash or debit cards that are good for as little as an hour or as long as 3 days. This isn't a story about parking, it is about this beautiful free beach.

This is one of the lifeguard stations. The pier is in the background. At the time of this picture the tide was out. Something an Illinois BFE resident didn't have to think about in the past.

A group gathering on the beach for a wedding. Can you think of a better place. The ocean in the background. Your toes in the sand. The timeless sound of the waves crashing ashore.

The beach in all its beauty further enhanced by the love of a bride and groom. A great place to spend the day and start your lives together.
