17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Tybee Island

“Good ice cream, horrifically rude employees who clearly hate their customers. ~Rachel~ needs to hire people that don’t have a snotty attitude so people don’t walk away feeling gross after being ripped off for $7 for Golden Corral soft serve. And this is coming from someone who employees shouldn’t have to care that much about their jobs bc it’s just a way to keep a roof over your head. No patience for hot, tired families just looking for some overpriced ice cream.“

“If you're craving classic boardwalk vibes and creamy scoops, Boardwalk Ice Cream is hands-down the best stop on the island. The ice cream is rich, flavorful, and perfectly scooped — generous portions that hit the spot after a day in the sun. From traditional favorites like chocolate, vanilla, and praline pecan to fun sundaes loaded with toppings, everything feels fresh and satisfying. Whether you grab a cone for a stroll or a loaded sundae to share, it’s pure nostalgic joy in every bite. Affordable, friendly, and right where you want it. Don’t leave the island without one — 5/5 scoops! Highly recommend.“

“My mom and I love this place! Best brownies and cookies homemade. I love their snowballs! We went everyday when we were in Tybee! Can’t recommend enough! Best ever! Jason is amazing too!“

“Staff is always friendly and helpful, nice selection, good prices for a beach town, location is perfect right in the middle of everything, close to the beach so you can enjoy your treat before it melts while walking on the beach. Keep in mind this is not an eat in ice cream parlor, it's a walk up and order window which is perfect for its location. I eat here weekly and must say, the salted caramel blondie is the best I've had anywhere!!!!“

“I had the chocolate gelato and I thought it was good but not the best I’ve ever had. My sister had the mint chip ice cream and she said it was some of the best she has ever had. It gets crowded on a nice warm evening. A few tables outside to sit but you can get your treat and walk the beach.“

“Great staff and amazing donuts!!“

“went with a friend. We each got a single scoop of ice cream (no toppings). It was $18.. before being prompted to tip. There is a reason they don't have a complete list of prices listed. The man at the register made a bit of an unappreciated remark. He said the guy dipping ive cream was giving generous portions (which was comical).. and tried to act like we got double scoops. (we did not) won't be back.“

“Quesadillas are my favorite, banana pudding ice cream (YUM)...must try 💯👑🫶 but everything is delicious and people are absolutely wonderful“

“What a great company. The coffee cookies and cream and the oatmeal cookie ice cream was PHENOMENAL. We will make sure to add The Ice Cream Cone to our future visits to the island. PS: the tip sign was iconic and I’m sad I didn’t get a picture.“

“I just paid over $6 for a "Concrete". it came in a small cup that wasn't even filled to the top. very dissatisfied“

“I have been selling Palmetto Pops in my business for a while now and they are always a huge hit. The best seller for us is watermelon lime. The owners are great to deal with in every aspect. Highly recommend“

“If you want the most tasty real ice cream with creative as well as traditional flavors that cannot be beat, visit the Cinnamon Bear Country Store in the Sea Pines neighborhood of Hilton Head! The service and the ice cream is amazing and they are locally owned, no chain ice cream here!! Am Yisroel Chai and Enjoy!!“

“The food was outstanding Highly recommend will definitely be back Lord willing“

“I drink a vanilla milkshake it was really good especially the stand is very nice too.“

“We stopped in to get dessert. We had a total of 6 people in our group. We waited patiently for 10 minutes. People were gathered behind us as well. A couple walks in and was immediately served. I spoke up and noted we had been waiting there for a long time and were next. After the couple was served, the employee walked away to wait on someone else. I told him they needed a new system. He was very rude and said that it works fine for them. There were a couple of young men working at the time. They were rude and inconsiderate. The place was not very clean either. We walked out & will not return.“

“Amazing coffee and lovely staff!“

“Amazing food great treatment“
