On a beautiful barrier island like Tybee, pirates do what pirates have always done—sail, search for treasure, enjoy the beach, and make a little mischief! 🏴☠️🌴
And Tybee has some real pirate lore behind the fun. Historical accounts say pirates visited the island for safe harbor, fresh water, game, and places to hide their treasure.
Today, Tybee’s pirates are a bit more civilized: they parade through the streets, sing sea shanties, hunt for treasure, dress in full pirate regalia, and raise a little “grog” during the annual Tybee Island Pirate Fest. The 2026 festival runs October 8–11, with a Buccaneer Ball, pub crawl, live music, kids’ activities, costume contests, and the famous pirate parade.
So, what do pirates do on Tybee?
