GEORGIA — Summer is almost here, and it is time to start planning those getaways to surf, sand and sun.

With that in mind, Condé Nast Traveler has named its top 17 beach destinations on the East Coast, including Georgia's Tybee Island.

The new list includes everything from "charming, historic New England towns to tropical Southern getaways," according to the report The scenery ranges from those perfect for family vacations to the best spots for solo trips and group getaways.

Along the coast, Tybee and Savannah are neighbors in the Peach State. Condé Nast considered Tybee to be great for day trips due to its "small-town vibe" and its "long stretches of sandy beaches."

Tybee is home to five picturesque settings: North Beach, South Beach, Mid Beach, Back River Beach and Little Tybee Island.
