Fewer crowds, more fun and a full calendar of things to do — that’s what you’ll find at Georgia’s Tybee Island this spring. It’s a beach town with a lot to offer, even during the cooler seasons when visitors don’t need to beat the heat.
During March 2023, according to the Weather Channel, the island was 86 degrees at its warmest and 35 degrees at its coldest. In general, visitors can expect mildly warm days and chilly nights during the spring.
Swimmers will likely find the water too cold, but loungers can still enjoy the warm sands and the beachside views of massive ships leaving Savannah’s nearby harbor.
St. Patrick’s Day parade
It’s also the Peach State’s best place to start your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. To experience the beach town at its finest, you’ll want to stop by for the holiday. Tybee will host its annual parade March 9, a full week ahead of Savannah’s legendary St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. If you are looking to get the most out of the holiday this year, it all starts here.
“Tybee Island is hosting the first parade of St. Patrick’s season on Saturday, March 9, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.,” TybeeIsland.com reported. “Now in its 20th year, the annual Tybee Island Irish Heritage Celebration Parade is two hours of awesome jam-packed with music, marchers and so much more. The family-friendly float fest starts at Tybee City Hall and travels down Butler Avenue to Tybrisa Street. Wear your brightest green garb and get ready to party at the parade!”
Other things to do
If St. Patrick’s Day isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other reasons to stop by. According to Go South! Savannah, spring marks the beginning of Tybee Island’s vacation season. Consequently, it’s the best time for visitors to enjoy the beach before the town becomes increasingly more crowded during the summer. March is the beginning of farmers market season at the Tybee Island Lighthouse, as well as a lively month for visiting musical performers.
