Once the heart of The Savannah River Delta. If you zoom out enough you will see what looks like the roots of a majestic old tree stretching 24 miles from Hilton Head SC to Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge. This is a salt marsh estuary one of the largest in the world. Winding through the marshes during twilight hours is a most exceptional way to enjoy time in nature. Like a kaleidoscope of little salt islands maybe 27-80 Islands? (no one can agree how many there are;) Many of the little islands in question are just a few trees seemingly out of place lost in the salt grass just the bones standing there.
Little Tybee then is not really little? It is nearly twice the size of Tybee so, how did Little Tybee Island Get Its Name?
