Ever wonder how can you maximize your visit to Tybee Island? We have gathered the best insider tips so you can plan a dream trip to one of the most unique places you'll ever visit. BEST PLACE TO LAY DOWN YOUR TOWEL Park near the Tybee Beach Beach and Pavilion ( Tybrisa St, Tybee Island, GA 31328) use the bridge in front of the Tybee Island Marine Center turn right and walk towards the rock formation close to the sand dunes. This portion of the beach has a smoother sand, lots of shallow areas that are perfect for little kids to bathe safely, is less crowded, and because it's close to the sand dunes you will see a large variety of seaside birds.
For the second year in a row, Atlanta-based space music composer Jonn Serrie will perform a live concert at Fernbank Science Center to mark the holiday season. The concert, titled “Upon a Midnight Clear,” features Serrie’s ethereal settings of holiday classics, accompanied by a star show on the Science Center’s Zeiss star projector.
“We
were so tickled when Jonn agreed to come again this year!” says
Fernbank Science Center Astronomer April Whitt. “Last year’s show
was a big success, but getting an artist of Mr. Serrie’s stature to
play at Fernbank isn’t a gimme.” Serrie, who calls Atlanta home,
is one of today’s preeminent composers of music for planetaria as
well as space-themed special events, having worked on projects for
NASA, the U.S. Navy, Lucasfilm and CNN.
Serrie’s
December 6th show headlines a series of special programs
at Fernbank Science Center this December. The following Friday,
December 13th, will see a special set of planetarium
showings to culminate the Center’s donation drives for both Atlanta
Community Food Bank and Toys for Tots. That evening, a donation for
either cause will serve as your planetarium ticket.
On
December 20th, to mark the end of the semester and winter
solstice, the Science Center presents “Stories
Under the Stars of Winter; Celebrating the Winter Solstice.” The
program explores winter constellations, and includes storytelling by
Fernbank’s own April Whitt. Admission to the program is one new
teddy bear (or other new stuffed animal), $5.00 value or greater, per
person, which will be donated to the children at Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
Tickets
for Jonn Serrie’s concert, and information on the other programs,
are available on the Science Center’s website, fsc.fernbank.edu.
