“The View From The Beach”
King & Queen of the Buccaneers Admiral Paul “Silver Beard” DeVivo & Lady Morgan DeVivo Try as I may, I can’t imagine that an infamous pirate, such as Blackbeard, would be raising a cup of grog and/or parading around the streets of Tybee with any Kings or Queens…! Ironically, that dichotomy is exactly what this [...] -
TYBEE NIGHT LIFE
Is there any such thing as a secret on Tybee? Are we even allowed to have any, or is it against some unwritten rule? I love secrets because they make me smile (for the most part!) I feel like a little kid when I have a secret or know one. Just remember, a secret is [...] -
Tybee Life
Chase and Alexis Messmer, brother and sister, were visiting Tybee’s RV Park with their family. They drove with their grandparents from Lee’s Summit, MO. This summer was their sixth year at the campground. Alexis will be a nurse/youth leader.

Weight Loss

American Legion Post 154 – The Commander’s Corner
September is here and once again we are planning for “Patriot’s Day” at the Legion. On Saturday, September 11th, at 6:30pm, we will get together for a “covered dish” meal and some music. We will also take the time to reflect on the events that happened on that day in 2001. From around the Country, [...] -
View From The Porch
Back to Normal, Almost… Remember last year at this time? Movie stars were going home and movie fans were going home. Things were quiet again, almost. This year, after a great season where many local businesses had a good rebound from the previous year, it is beginning to slow down when we can take a [...]
