Ever wonder how can you maximize your visit to Tybee Island? We have gathered the best insider tips so you can plan a dream trip to one of the most unique places you'll ever visit. BEST PLACE TO LAY DOWN YOUR TOWEL Park near the Tybee Beach Beach and Pavilion ( Tybrisa St, Tybee Island, GA 31328) use the bridge in front of the Tybee Island Marine Center turn right and walk towards the rock formation close to the sand dunes. This portion of the beach has a smoother sand, lots of shallow areas that are perfect for little kids to bathe safely, is less crowded, and because it's close to the sand dunes you will see a large variety of seaside birds.
Don
a bonnet and race through Atlanta’s Historic Oakland Cemetery in
a one-of-a-kind event that’s a heck of a lot of fun
Lace up your running shoes – oh, and don’t forget to don your
favorite fun costume – in preparation to Run Like Hell or Run Like
Heck through Atlanta’s Historic Oakland Cemetery, April 12, in the
one-of-a-kind family-fun event, Run Like Hell: Pushing Up Daisies
Edition, presented by the Historic Oakland Cemetery Foundation. New
this year – the beloved race has moved from fall to spring and is
now an electronically-chipped Peachtree Road Race qualifier!
There’s
no better time to feast the eyes on the rolling hills of Oakland’s
verdant green paths and soak up the spring blooms of Oakland’s and
neighboring Grant Park’s magnificent gardens than during a spring
jaunt through one of Atlanta’s most sacred grounds.
Push your limits with the Pushing up Daisies edition of the well-loved Run Like Hell 5K, or let little ones Run Like Heck during a 1K fun run.
Fun
and free add-on this year: Stay the day and rest your bones post-race
with a picnic in the park and savor spring at its best with the whole
family. Utilize the convenient picnic basket/cooler check or visit
one of the neighboring restaurants for a take-out lunch.

new this year, present your race bib at Oakland’s Museum Shop and
Visitors Center weekends through May 11 for a free guided walking
tour. Choose from one of the four regularly scheduled weekend tours
which begin at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays

bonnet.

Foundation.
