How to Use This Tybee Island, Georgia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Tybee Island, Georgia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Georgia or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Tybee Island.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Tybee Island emerges from the salt-sprayed haze as a narrow, sandy barrier defined by the shifting tides of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 7.5 miles east of Wilmington Island, GA (from Wilmington Island, GA: bearing 92°T), and is situated 16.0 miles east-southeast of Savannah. Horse Pen Creek traces a vein of brackish water through the marshland, its dark, tidal currents reflecting the wide, heavy sky before emptying toward the horizon. The landscape is dominated by the expansive, sun-bleached reaches of Beach, a LP, where the dunes provide a fragile bulwark against the relentless rhythm of the surf. To the west, the low, verdant silhouette of Horse Pen Hammock sits anchored in the mudflats, a reminder of the quiet, untamed wildness that exists only nineteen miles from the distant, hazy blue of Spider Ridge. The air here holds a permanent, briny weight, clinging to the skin and softening the sharp edges of the afternoon light into a pale, golden luminescence.

Tybee Island functions as a resilient outpost where the economy leans heavily on the seasonal ebb and flow of visitors drawn to the water’s edge. Historical layers remain embedded in the local character, visible in the weathered architecture that has endured countless storms and the quiet persistence of those who call these shifting sands home. Life moves according to the tides, a steady pulse that discourages haste and favors the patient observation of a changing coastline. While the bustle of commerce defines the warmer months, the off-season reveals a contemplative stillness, leaving the shoreline to the gulls and the rhythmic, hollow wash of the waves. Far from the reach of inland forests or the shadows of high peaks, the environment remains defined by its isolation, a self-contained world where the primary industry is the stewardship of a fragile, shifting geography.

About This Tybee Island Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tybee Island, Georgia. Coordinates: 32.010216, -80.855904. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Tybee Island includes the ZIP code (31328), telephone area code (478), county seat of Chatham County (Savannah), and school district assignment (Chatham County School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
