Your easy landing on Tybee Island.
Dunes Inn & Suites sits on Butler Ave, a short walk from Tybee’s South Beach — close to the sand, the pier, and the island’s shops and restaurants, with historic Savannah a short drive up the road.
Come for the location, stay for the ease: a dip in the saltwater pool, a short walk to the water, and a simple, comfortable room to land in at the end of the day — front building or annex, both a few minutes from the beach.

Three ways to settle in.
Plus four more room types across the property — the Mini Suite, the Annex economy rooms, and the two-bedroom apartment. See the full room list.

2 Queen Beds with Kitchenette

Dining
The whole island eats within a few blocks.
StingRay's and Sunrise are both a couple minutes down Butler, shrimp and grits wait down at the pier, and fish tacos with your feet in the sand are a short drive north at The Deck. Most of Tybee's best is a short walk toward South Beach. We keep a list of favorites at the front desk.
