Visit the Tybee Island Marine Science Center to view marine life indigenous to the Georgia coast.

The aquariums and exhibits are home to an amazing variety of fish, reptiles, invertebrates, corals and other interesting sea creatures.

Learn about barrier islands, the living Georgia state seashell and horseshoe crabs. Compare turtles from the salt marsh and the sea. Feel a shark skin or touch a whale bone in the Discovery Room and “shake hands” with a hermit crab in the popular touch tank.

The non-profit Marine Science Center promotes the appreciation, conservation and understanding of the marine ecosystem of coastal Georgia through educational programs and services.
