Summary

Tybee Fishing Pier is one of Georgia’s most popular ocean-access piers, extending far enough to reach deeper surf zones where migratory fish pass seasonally. Anglers regularly catch whiting and Spanish mackerel using simple bottom rigs or casting spoons. While busy, the pier’s length and depth make it productive year-round.

Bottom Line

A high-traffic but high-potential ocean pier with consistent action and excellent accessibility.
