Sunrises, Sunsets or just drinks with a view
Enjoy a relaxing weekend on Tybee Island with various events and activities tailored for Mother's Day. I'm a mother and I'd just love a relaxing day on 19th street or North Beach listening to the waves crashing from the Atlantic Ocean, eating lunch at The Deck (with a view), driving a golf cart around the island & eating dinner at Hucapoos and watching the sunset at the back river/alley 3 ramp.  And, my all time favorite Tybee Island restaurant is the Sundae Cafe, but it is not open on Sundays so you'll need to make reservations before or aftre Mother's Day this year!
