DAY 3
Start the day at leisure, swinging by Finches Sandwiches and Sundries on your way out of town. Located in a converted gas station, this friendly spot serves breakfast in the form of a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich as well as pancakes, plus the essential coffee to keep you going. Roam the grounds of Bonaventure
Cemetery, the famous burial ground where the graves of songwriter Johnny Mercer and soldiers from the Spanish-American War are found. The tree-filled space feels almost like a park, with views of the marsh. Spend the rest of the day exploring Tybee Island, a laid-back beach community a short

While you’re there, take a tour of the famous Tybee Island Light Station or the former Civil War base at Fort Pulaski National Monument. Alternatively, just relax on the white-sand beach and take part in some fishing from the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion. End your day at The Crab Shack, a
dockside restaurant set around a massive tree decorated with lights. Open since 1983, it’s a local staple, where the menu includes traditional dishes of the region like deviled crab and Lowcountry boil, made of shrimp, sausage, corn and potato.
