Overview

Little Tybee is an uninhabited barrier island south of Tybee Island in Georgia, offering a preserved natural setting for kitesurfing. The spot features vast stretches of sand and shallow waters on the marsh side, ideal for flat water sessions. On the ocean side, waves offer a more challenging playground. Accessible only by boat, this isolated spot requires good self-sufficiency and knowledge of the tides.
