My Favorite Place

Two of the most redeeming things about Savannah: 1)The "to go" cup and 2)Its proximity to the beach and beach life style. A majority of the beaches in Savannah are out on Tybee Island which lies just 12 miles (approx) from my front door. It's a beautiful, easy and short drive to what has become for me, the best spot to be down here. Old Savannah Beach aka North Beach is the shore that I always head to. It is easy for swiming, good for walking, there are just enough people around and there's a great little beach shack restaurant to get drinks and eats at called the North Beach Grill. If you drive further down on Tybee there's the big pier and the "strip" as I like to call it, stop by Spanky's for spuds, a grilled cheese and a margarita and really you can't go wrong. From the parking lot of North Beach: North Beach Grill: (The back side) The walk down: The Dolphins: Its hard get perspective on just how close they come in, but if you look in the forground of the photo you can see where I'm standing and that will give you an idea. Its funny to hear the rednecks tell their kids to "look at the sharks". There is a pod of these dolphins that are always at the beach in the mornings swimming back and forth, diving slowly up and down feeding on all the fish. Its really quite something to watch and a lot of fun. The fish are fun to watch too as they clear the water by a foot when they jump. The first time that I saw the dolphins was when I was out swimming, I looked up and it seemed almost as if they were swimming right next to me! Pretty cool.
