Rip Currents and Sandbar on the South Beach
Please do not venture out on the sand bars south of Tybee Island's Main Beaches.
The sand bars n the south end of the island look deceptively easy to walk on and to explore. The ocean is, however, unforgiving, and can take out a strong, adult swimer within just a few minutes, particularly at the turn of the tide. Please, for your safety, for the safety of our lifegaurd s who may have to rescue you, for the safety of your family, do NOT venture out on the sand bars. The depth at high and lowtides varies dramatically from place to place around Tybee: you must make sure you are off the sand bars well before the tide encroaches on the sands. They are extremely dangerous.
