Tybee Island Marine Science Center & Lunch
February 17 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
$15
Join us for an island ecology experience at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. Our adventure includes a one-hour guided walk along Tybee’s north beach by a marine science educator who discusses topics such as the dynamics of Georgia’s barrier islands, the intertidal zone, forces behind tides and waves, and sand dune formation. The second hour is spent at the Center for a presentation about the lives of the various sea turtles that nest on Georgia’s coastal beaches as well as a guided tour of the Center’s Coastal Galleries through live animal exhibits, interactive stations, life-size animal replicas, and the Fossil Room.
This event is $15 per person and is limited to 20 participants. No cancellations. In the case of inclement weather, the walk will be conducted with alternate indoor activities.
City of Tybee parking fees are a separate expense ($4 per hour). Carpooling will be arranged.
OPTIONAL: After the tour, have lunch at the North Beach Bar & Grill located next to the Center. This is a personal cost and separate checks will be accommodated.
