Tybee Island Ocean Fishing Pier | Tybee Island GA

Tybee Island Ocean Fishing Pier is one of the best-known public fishing destinations on the Georgia coast. Located near South Beach at the end of Tybrisa Street, the pier extends over the Atlantic Ocean and offers anglers a place to fish while enjoying views of the shoreline and passing boats.

Unlike the creekside piers around Savannah, this location gives anglers access to ocean-facing water. It is also close to restaurants, shops, and other attractions in Tybee’s South Beach area, making it an easy addition to a coastal day trip. Georgia DNR and Chatham County list the pier as a public fishing location.

Fishing Tips for Tybee Island Pier

Check conditions before you go. Wind, waves, and water clarity can affect fishing. Check the marine forecast and surf conditions before planning a trip.

Use tackle suited to the target species. A bottom rig can be useful for species such as whiting, while casting lures may be productive when mackerel or bluefish are feeding nearby.

Bring sun protection. The pier can have substantial sun exposure, especially during summer.

Keep your fishing area tidy. Secure hooks, manage lines carefully, and avoid crowding other anglers.

Check current Georgia saltwater fishing regulations for license and permit requirements, size limits, seasons, and possession limits before keeping fish.
