The experience

The tour starts at the Carbo House on Tybrisa Street, where your local ghost host will brief you on the hauntings and history of the area before leading you down to "The Point" on 17th Street beachside. There you'll hear about the deaths and safety concerns that have marked the sandbar over the years. The route then takes you past the Beachview Inn & Spa and the Atlantis Inn, both known for active paranormal activity, so you can hear the stories tied to each location.

Midway through, you'll stop at the Rock House for a cocktail and restroom break. A family-friendly restaurant that has its own ghostly apparitions and even an arcade for kids. After that, the tour moves to the Sandbar, an extremely haunted bar on Tybee where a ghost named Fred is known for throwing things around. You'll also visit the Breakfast Club to hear about haunted experiences from locals and tourists, and learn about the surrounding areas near 15th Street that carry their own reputations for paranormal activity, including stories from celebrities who've reported encounters there.

The tour wraps up with a walk down to the beach to search for ghostly apparitions near the dunes and around the pier. You'll have the thermal imaging camera with you throughout, giving you a tool to look for shades and shadows as you move through South Beach. Note that if you bring a stroller, there may be limitations on the actual beach, though the guide can help improvise. Pets are not allowed on the beach unless they're service animals.
