Savannah, GA, October 15, 2026 —
Tybee Island city leaders are considering a three-month pilot program that would allow dogs on a designated stretch of beach between the pier and Inlet Avenue. The proposed period runs from November 1 through January 31.
The program is under consideration; the information provided does not say whether city leaders have approved it. Under the proposal, dogs would be subject to leash and fee requirements. The specific leash rules and fee amount were not provided.
The summary of the proposal does not identify the year the pilot would begin, explain how the fee would be collected, or say whether additional conditions would apply. It also does not specify which city body is considering the program or when a decision is expected.
If adopted, the pilot would apply to the described section of beach, rather than being presented as a policy for the entire beach. The proposal’s stated duration is three months, from November 1 to January 31. No details were provided about how the city would assess the pilot or what would happen after the proposed period ends.
For now, the available information establishes the proposed location, time frame and general leash and fee conditions, but does not confirm that the program will take effect. Further details about the requirements and the city’s decision were not provided.
