Tybee Island Pirate Fest
For hundreds of years this beautiful island was home to various groups of pirates who used the island to hide from those who pursued them. Pirates used the island's inland waterways for fresh water source, and later, joined the British in fighting the Spanish and their Native American allies. Today, while most of the pirates are long gone, they have given way to another great reason to have a party... Tybee Island Pirate Fest, held every year in October. Tybee Island Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a few locals searching for an event to highlight the unique personality of the island, and of course, to have a BIG pirate party.Oceanview Condominums - Unit B #5-B 17th Street - FREE Wi-Fi
