We had such a wonderful experience with Dr Joe on our tour. Just a great value on the island. First of all, Dr Joe looks just like Jimmy Buffet! So, who wouldn't love to hang out with Jimmy B on the beach?! I love animals and having Dr Joe there to answer any question that I had was just the... More

Joe is a wealth of information about things on the beach. My husband and I have lived near a beach for most of our lives, and sometimes you just take for granted things you see lying in the sand.... never stopping to think that it was once a living thing. We learned the names of many shells that we have... More

Dr. Joe's passion for beach ecology and teaching are clear every minute of the program. And, his passion is infectious. Be prepared to spend a couple of hours totally fascinated by the creatures you'll find. This program is great for almost anyone.

We spent several hours with Joe exploring the beach and rocky area on north Tybee. We have done many things while traveling but this was one of the best experiences ever! Joe was so warm and friendly. We learned so much and he taught us many things about the "treasures" that wash ashore from the sea. This would be an... More

This was probably the most memorable part of our trip to Savannah. This experience is great for All ages! You get to be at the beach & also have fun collecting & learning about the sea life we found. I felt like a kid again searching for sea animals. Dr. Joe is also so informative, easy going & loves what... More

My husband and I were looking for a fun (and inexpensive) way to appreciate the island, and Dr. Joe was the perfect tour. He met us at the parking lot for a north beach, (which I understand is never very crowded) at low tide. He then led us to the beach and gave us a brief overlay of the land,... More

Booked a tour with Dr Joe during the last part of our stay on Tybee and it was the highlight of our vacation! Three young boys were very eager to help Dr joe gather shells and crabs and learn all about the marine life on Tybee. Dr joe is an excellent tour guide and teacher and made our two hours... More

Tybee Beach Ecology trips are led by the very educational Dr.Joe Richardson. My family spent the morning catching, digging and learning about the beach and creatures that call it home. It was a fantastic experience, a must do if you visit the island.

My husband turned out to be right (sometimes hard for me to admit it)! The 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed the ecology trip on the beach with Dr. Joe. We ranged in age from 6, 10, 36, 65 & 70. When we left, we must have discussed our fun experience for several minutes. Best of all, my kids will probably... More
