If you want a simple and easy breakfast in a diner setting at low prices you can't beat Sunrise Restaurant. They have the American breakfast classics and all the southern fixings. We would recommend the shrimp and grits!

Nestled in the marsh behind Tybee Island, on the shores of Lazaretto Creek, CoCo’s Sunset Grille is one of the very few restaurants located at an operating marina and it’s own shrimping vessel, The Agnes Marie. With perfect views of the river and marina, from our large patio you can watch the majestic Agnes Marie returning with the day’s catch as the sun sinks slowly over the marshes. And with a short trip from the docks to our kitchen, seafood simply doesn’t get any fresher than this. Just add an ice cold beer, or one of our unique tropical drinks, great music, and a few of your best friends, and you’ve got a recipe for Tybee living the way it’s meant to be.
