Any tips on Savannah Georgia in the spring?

Spring is the best time to go to Savannah - beautiful weather and the azealeas are in bloom. I usually tell people to stay at a place near River Street because you can pretty much park you car and walk everywhere else but since you have games and will be renting a house/condo, it will be a little different. Personally, since you will be driving around town anyways, I would probably stay near the games (rates would probably be better than the ones near the water).

When you go into the main part of Savannah, there is an underground garage where you can park your car (not too expensive) and just walk around the squares and down River Street and see all the sites (if you kids like Pizza, I recommend Vinnie Van Gogh Goghs - we always have to make stop there for pizza when in town).

Tybee Island has a nice beach - it is a short drive (about 15 minutes) from Savannah (Savannah is on the river not the ocean so to go to the beach, you will need to go to Tybee Island). There is plenty of public parking - make sure you pay because they monitor those meters pretty closely. There is a lighthouse and you will pass Ft. Pulaski along the way. You will also go past Bonaventure Cemetery (beautiful old historic cemetery featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil) if your family likes those kind of things (we do, but I know you may not have the time and would rather spend it at the beach).

Bring good walking shoes because you will be doing a lot of that. There is so much to see and do in Savannah - I know you will have a great time.

We visited Savannah and Charleston in the spring and the weather was perfect. Tybee island is a small island adjacent to Savannah...you could spend an hour there or all day. There is a cool lighthouse on the island too.

We visited Beaufort for a half day and loved it. Lots of charming historical buildings and homes.

There is also a nature preserve area outside of Savannah and we drove through there and saw many alligators sunning themselves on the banks.

We were there in March a couple years ago and loved everything about Savannah. The hop on hop off bus tours were fantastic. We got a great overview of the city and then went where we wanted.

We also borrowed bikes from our hotel and rode up and down the historic district parks and stopped for an ice cream at Leopolds's, which was very good. Coming from Boston, we were shocked at how nice the drivers were to us on the bikes. Nobody tried to run us off the road, and *gasp* they even let us cross and didn't try to pass us.

I don't know what the restaurant situation is now, but we really enjoyed Treylor Park. The food was really yummy.

If you haven't already read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, I recommend it. There is a movie too but I liked the book better. The story is set in Savannah.

It is really walkable (at least, the older areas) — I just park somewhere and go everywhere on foot. The weather should be nice.

Only one caution—if you are there over the weekend closest to St. Patrick’s Day, it’s nuts! (Or, at least, was in pre-COVID times).

I agree!  We were there in 2019 and happened to be in Savannah on St Patrick’s Day. It was nuts!  We got away from the bar scene quickly. 

We toured the Mercer Williams House and it was a good tour. We walked around the historic district quite a bit, the basilica, the cemetery, and explored all the squares. The Savannah College of Arts and Design is there. I’m not sure if there would be an exhibit during Covid, but it’s worth a check.  DH is a military history buff and of course we had to tour Fort Pulaski. It was a good tour and interesting even for me. And there were beautiful views!

That is what I would do. We did 1/2 a day at Tybee and that was plenty for us. I've been back to Savannah several times, but have skipped the beach in subsequent visits (partially because we aren't "beach people" and partially because it was pretty unimpressive as far as beaches go). 

We've gone to Savannah many times when visiting Hilton Head Island. I believe the best way to see the city is on bicycle if that appeals to you. We take our own but I'm sure there are rental options. The city is fairly large to walk. It's laid out with squares every few blocks. Each square has something different but most have a park like appearance - a statue or some different landscaping. There is also a large park with a fountain. Be aware that there are many different surfaces - pavement, concrete, cobblestones and brick papers. There are plenty of other cyclist as students from Savannah College of Art and Design bike. Don't try to bike along the waterfront but otherwise, it is a great way to get around and enjoy the area especially in spring. Spring is the best season in Savannah!
