2. The Transparent Threat: Jellyfish on Tybee (wtoc.com) — Jellyfish are especially common right now along Tybee Island’s beaches, and local Ocean Rescue leaders explain that soft tides and incoming currents are keeping them close to shore. Lifeguards urge beachgoers to skip home remedies, head to the nearest stand for treatment, and watch the colored warning flags that signal surf hazards, dangerous marine life, or full beach closures.
   

3. Tybee Island diner featured as filming location for new thriller (wjcl.com) — A beloved local spot, The Breakfast Club on Tybee Island is doubling as the main diner set for “Girl,” a new psychological thriller directed by Destry Allyn Spielberg. Filming showcases both the restaurant’s retro look and signature dishes like pecan waffles, while the general manager says the project highlights Tybee’s downhome, less-commercial charm compared with more modern beach towns.
   

4. Wassaw Island wildfire could burn for weeks as smoke spreads to Tybee and Hilton Head (wjcl.com) — Smoke from a 340-acre wildfire on Wassaw Island is drifting over Tybee Island and could linger for weeks until the area gets several inches of rain. While no communities or structures are currently threatened, residents and visitors should expect ongoing haze along the coast and keep an eye on official updates as firefighters monitor the slow-moving blaze in very dry conditions.
   

5. Under new legislation, restaurants prep to post origin country for shrimp • Georgia Recorder (georgiarecorder.com) — New shrimp-labeling rules in Georgia will directly affect Tybee Island restaurants that pride themselves on serving local catch, like Bubba Gumbo’s and Sea Wolf Tybee. Starting in January, eateries must clearly disclose if their shrimp is imported, a change local shrimpers hope will steer more diners toward Georgia-caught seafood and help keep the coastal industry afloat.
