Tybee Island City Hall

I love going to tybee island. We usually get golf carts to avoid paying for parking, however we did not have them for the first day of our trip this year, so we had to pay for parking at the beach. I paid $21 for parking that day but when I came back to my vehicle I noticed a $75 ticket even though I had paid. I was cited for parking in a spot that had a yellow curb. There weren’t any “no parking” signs anywhere, and the road (on 10th street) was very wore and tore up. To me it looked like a regular parking space. ( I will include a picture.) I had no clue that a yellow curb meant no parking and even if it did the paint was so worn that you could hardly tell. I was very disappointed that I got a parking ticket so I went to parking services and tried to at least get the $20 I had paid for parking that day took off as this was an honest mistake. (I think her name is Lynn), the director of parking services was very rude and annoyed when I came in to talk to her about this and explain the situation on phone and in person. She was very condescending and made many smart remarks to me as I tried to explain the situation. When I asked her if she could take the $20 I had paid for parking that day off the ticket she told me no and that I would need to dispute it with my bank to get it back. I would think that since I tried to do the right thing and pay for parking she would at least have mercy on me, but I was incorrect and felt highly disrespected by the manner in which she conducted herself! This is the only bad experience I have ever had with tybee island and the only thing that would make me not want to visit anymore!

Tybee Island has upped their parking prices ($3.50 an hour!!) so now residents can't afford to go to the beach. My husband and I found this out the hard way. We paid though. Filled out the app and hit submit. Of course the app glitched and we were hit with a fine. When we called to dispute they told us "oh well". We got home and life threw us a curve ball and we forgot to pay the scam fine. Now we have additional fees on top of the fine and threats of being subpeonad. It was so nice getting that letter the day after my miscarriage. Thanks for the memories Tybee, we won't be coming back.

Lynn Davis, Tybee Island parking services supervisor, is rude, unprofessional, and condescending. She refused to take the time to provide basic information, and appeared to be annoyed by the fact that I was calling with questions. Tourism is the lifeblood of Tybee Island. If this employees demeanor is any indicator of how Tybee treats and values tourist, I would recommend spending your vacation dollars elsewhere.
