Tybee Turtle-Friendly Business Program

Introduction:

Tybee Island is taking a stand for our oceans and sea turtles — and your business can lead the way!

The Turtle-Friendly Business Recognition Program, a collaboration between Fight Dirty Tybee and Tybee Island Main Street, celebrates local businesses that go the extra mile to protect our coastal environment. Whether you’re a restaurant, retail shop, ice cream spot, bar, or hospitality provider, you can be recognized for your efforts!

Earn a window decal, certification event, and enjoy social media shoutouts when you meet the program’s turtle-friendly criteria. Let’s work together to keep Tybee clean and turtle-safe!
