ESSENTIALS
------------
When to go : The humid climate can be overwhelming for the uninitiated , so spring and fall are best for visitors as temperatures tend to average around 68-86F And while there ’ s no real ‘ low ’ season , the crowds are lighter in these months . Currency : USD Language : English Getting around : The best way to get around is on foot or bike , especially if you ’ re sticking to the historic district , but a car is helpful for exploring Tybee Island and other areas . Savannah also has a bus system to shuttle around town .
DAY 3
Start the day at leisure , swinging by Finches Sandwiches and Sundries on your way out of town . Located in a converted gas station , this friendly spot serves breakfast in the form of a sausage , egg and cheese sandwich as well as pancakes , plus the essential coffee to keep you going .
Roam the grounds of Bonaventure Cemetery , the famous burial ground where the graves of songwriter Johnny Mercer and soldiers from the Spanish-American War are found . The tree-filled space feels almost like a park , with views of the marsh .
Spend the rest of the day exploring Tybee Island , a laid-back beach community a short
drive away that ’ s home to art galleries and pirate-themed eateries . While you ’ re there , take a tour of the famous Tybee Island Light Station or the former Civil War base at Fort Pulaski National Monument . Alternatively , just relax on the white-sand beach and take part in some fishing from the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion .
End your day at The Crab Shack , a dockside restaurant set around a massive tree decorated with lights . Open since 1983 , it ’ s a local staple , where the menu includes traditional dishes of the region like deviled crab and Lowcountry boil , made of shrimp , sausage , corn and potato .
