Fort Pulaski National Monument is a 10-minute drive, and Tybee Island National Monument and Museum is 4 km away.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the road if noise is a concern for sleep.

  • 02

    Confirm housekeeping availability at check-in; cleaning is by request only.

  • 03

    Arrive early to secure parking and possibly check in early; the front desk can issue a parking pass before check-in time.

  • 04

    Bring extra hangers or hooks for towels and wet swimsuits, as rooms lack towel hooks.

  • 05

    Book a handicap-accessible room in advance if needed, as availability is limited.
