Locals find their way to North Beach or the back river, while tourists usually head towards the South Beach Pier. Parking can be difficult on weekends and holidays, so avoid it by arriving early (or late if you’re going to dinner). If you have kayaks, park in Alley 3 and kayak over to little tybee!
