The island is the easternmost point in Georgia. The phrase "From [[Rabun Gap, Georgia|Rabun Gap]] to [[Tybee Lighthouse|Tybee Light]]," intended to illustrate the geographic diversity of Georgia, contrasts a mountain pass near the state's northernmost point with the coastal island's lighthouse.
 
As of the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]], the city's population was 3,114. The entire island is a part of the [[Savannah metropolitan area|Savannah Metropolitanmetropolitan Statisticalstatistical Areaarea]].
 
Officially renamed Savannah Beach in a publicity move at the end of the 1950s, the city of Tybee Island has since reverted to its original name. (The name Savannah Beach nevertheless appears on official state maps as far back as 1952 and as recently as the mid-1970s.)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/chatham1952map.htm |title=GeorgiaInfo&nbsp;— Carl Vinson Institute of Government |publisher=Cviog.uga.edu |access-date=2010-05-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080828071026/http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/chatham1952map.htm |archive-date=August 28, 2008 }}</ref> The small island, which has long been a quiet beach getaway for the residents of Savannah, has become a popular vacation spot with tourists from outside the Savannah metropolitan area. Tybee Island is home to the first of what would eventually become the [[Days Inn]] chain of hotels, the oft-photographed [[Tybee Island Light Station]], and the [[Fort Screven]] Historic District.
