Lifeguards said it may be tempting to get close to it. But they are warning people to resist the urge to climb or sit on the marker.
“It’s very heavy and can shift or roll (especially when the tide is up and it’s sitting in water) which could seriously injure someone. Take a look from a distance,” Tybee Island Water Rescue says.
The U.S. Coast Guard will be in charge of removing the marker, but it could take a few days.
