Outdoor Restaurants on Tybee Island

Known around town as an institute on Tybee Island, The Crab Shack is a dining experience unlike any other! With a huge patio overlooking Tybee’s marshlands, visitors can order heaping trays of low country boil in a casual dining setting. Their slogan, “Where the elite eat in their bare feet,” couldn’t be more accurate when you glance around their indoor or outdoor dining areas.

Nestled under the shadow of the Tybee Island Lighthouse, North Beach Bar & Grill is an island dining gem. Just steps from the sand of Tybee’s North Beach, where you’ll spot dolphins riding the waves and keepsake shells under your feet, this quaint beachside shack will transport you to a Caribbean getaway. Eclectic décor inside opens to a new, large covered patio – perfect for beachwear and sandy feet. Stop by there in the evenings for live music to accompany their mouth-watering Caribbean-inspired dishes and their $2 Red Stripe beer specials.

As Tybee’s only absolute beachfront restaurant, visitors of The Deck Beach Bar & Kitchen can walk from deck to sand in a matter of a few steps. Dine on island dishes while sipping creative cocktails under the Tybee sunshine on the open-air deck of this relaxed eatery.

The new kid on the block is serving up specialty wagyu beef and plant based hot dogs, freshly-shucked oysters and hand-crafted cocktails at Sea Wolf Tybee. Their cozy and eclectic vibe mixed with island living is an ideal spot for outdoor dining. Enjoy meat or vegan options such as Kobe beef dogs or hummus along with ocean breezes in this new favored local watering hole.  Relax on the outdoor patio with a cold beer or craft cocktail in this coastal oasis.
