Know before you go

Historic District Meters

Street parking in the historic core is metered and highly regulated; use city-operated garages for longer stays. Many squares have specific loading zones that must be avoided.

Refuge Connectivity

Cellular service is weak within the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge interior. Ensure you have physical maps or downloaded data before starting the wildlife drive.

Island Logistics

Fuel is readily available in Savannah and on Tybee Island, but sparse along the marsh causeways. Fill your tank before heading to more remote parts of Skidaway Island.

Tide Awareness

Check tide charts if planning to walk the Tybee sandbars, as incoming tides can move quickly. Some marsh trails may experience flooding during extreme high tides.

Bridge Openings

The Talmadge Memorial Bridge is a high-span, but smaller coastal bridges may have delays. Check for local marine traffic advisories if traveling to nearby sea islands.
