Irritable Pelican Artisan Gallery

At Irritable Pelican Artisan Gallery, a Tybee Island souvenir is more than something you buy. It is a memory your family can take home.

Affectionately known as The Pelican, this quirky Tybee Island shop brings together more than 30 local artists and makers under one roof. Together, they offer more than 3,000 handmade souvenirs, coastal gifts, keepsakes, clothing, jewelry, home decor, and original creations inspired by Tybee Island and the Georgia coast.

Visitors will not find shelves filled with the same mass produced souvenirs sold everywhere else. They will find pieces made by local hands, shaped by local stories, and filled with the personality of the island.

The collection includes small, easy to carry treasures for every age, style, and budget. Children can choose something fun to remember the trip. Adults can discover jewelry, coastal decor, and unique gifts. Families can find keepsakes that may begin as vacation souvenirs and become part of their homes, traditions, and stories for years to come.

Whether you are searching for a locally handmade Tybee Island souvenir, a unique coastal gift, or a one of a kind family treasure, Irritable Pelican Artisan Gallery offers something worth carrying home.

The Pelican is centrally located inside the Tybee Visitors Center at the corner of Campbell Avenue and First Street, also known as Highway 80. It is next to Visit Tybee and directly across from Tybee Golf Carts.
