Business Insider thinks so:
Tybee Island, located on Georgia’s coast right near the South Carolina border, is known for its relaxing, laid back atmosphere, great seafood, and breathtaking views — 272 of its 499 votes were awarded in the “Most Beautiful” category.
Yes, rankings like this are sort of silly and obviously arbitrary, but they aren’t meaningless. They’re good PR, plain and simple.
I find it a little odd that the brief blurb doesn’t mention the proximity of Savannah. Some other towns are on the list are pretty close to larger cities, but I don’t know if any are as close as Tybee is to Savannah. And it’s not so easy to get to Tybee in a way that avoids Savannah.
But no matter. Coming from a publication like Business Insider rather than the usual travel sites and magazines, the mention might carry a little weight — no matter if we agree or not.
Let me also add that three Kentucky towns made the list, two of which aren’t so far from the smallish city of Frankfort where I grew up.
Denton, Texas tops the list but Danville, Kentucky is #2, Bardstown is #3, and Murray is #4.
