Early use of the hamsa has been traced to ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) as well as ancient Carthage (modern day Tunisia). A universal sign of protection, the image of the open right hand is seen in Mesopotamian artifacts in the amulets of the goddess Ishtar or Inanna.
Since I had time to spare, I decided to explore both beaches to see which one had better amenities to offer. Letâs compare Tybee Island vs. Hilton Head and see which drive was worth it. Tybee Island is located in the state of Georgia approximately 17 miles from Savannah.ingo! I did find free parking near the beach in the Hilton Head but paid around 4$ in Tybee Island at the pier. Tybee is the closest fishing pier you will find in the area and is free to use as long as you own a finishing license. I did walk around there and even took a picture with the famous turtle.
Viewable from the top is the Atlantic Ocean, Savannah River, Hilton Head Island, Daufuskie Island, and Fort Pulaski. 3. Bike Rentals. Rent a bike from Fat Tire or Timâs and get an open air, more intimate view of Tybee Island.0. Go to the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. The Tybee Island Marine Science Center, located right off the beach behind the Pier and Pavilion, is a great place to take the family during a beach break.
