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.
Tybee Island is located 20 minutes from Historic Savannah. This barrier island boasts five miles of public beaches perfect for sunbathing, people-watching, surfing, and frolicking in the sand and surf of the Atlantic Ocean.
