The name is used for both the city and the island, but geographically the two are not identical: only part of the island's territory lies within the city itself. The island is Georgia's easternmost point. The phrase "From Rabun Gap to Tybee Light", intended to illustrate Georgia's geographic diversity, contrasts the mountain pass near the state's northernmost point with the coastal barrier island's lighthouse.
