Tybee Island is a popular resort destination for Georgian locals.  News reports now claim that a nuclear weapon has gone missing off its shores:

"SAVANNAH, Ga. - The first government search in decades for a nuclear bomb lost off the Georgia coast in 1958 found no trace of the sunken weapon, the Air Force said in a report Friday.

The report, released nine months after scientists tested radiation levels off Tybee Island, concluded the 7,600-pound bomb cannot explode and should be left at sea."
