The resort’s social life centered on the Tybrisa Pavilion, the largest of several seaside pavilions extending out from the shore that comprised food, dancing, and entertainment venues, as well as lounging verandas. Although the Tybrisa (built by the Central of Georgia c. 1900) was destroyed by fire in 1967, the current city pier and pavilion are built on its oceanfront site and evoke that tradition.
