Hilton Head Island Beach Travel Tips

By Carrie Nathans

  • Cycle with a buddy on a bike built for two from the Peddling Pelican.
  • Join a pickup game at The Island Recreation Center—hoops, soccer, and swimming keep kids of all ages entertained.
  • Tee off on 6,651 playable yards, sawgrass marshes, and ancient live oak forests at the Arthur Hills Course.
  • Frolic in summer’s warm water—ocean temps top 84 degrees in July and August.
  • Sit dockside Tuesdays at Shelter Cove for a dazzling display of fireworks. Admission and parking are free.


Hilton Head Travel Guide

The largest sea island between New Jersey and Florida, and one of America's great resort meccas, Hilton Head is surrounded by the Low Country, where much of the romance, beauty, and graciousness of the Old South survives. Broad white-sand beaches are warmed by the Gulf Stream and fringed with palm trees and rolling dunes. Palms mingle with live oaks, dogwood, and pines, and everything is draped in Spanish moss. Graceful sea oats, anchoring the beaches, wave in the wind. The subtropical climate makes all this beauty the ideal setting for golf and for some of the Southeast's finest saltwater fishing. Far more sophisticated and upscale than Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, Hilton Head's "plantations" (as most resort areas here call themselves) offer visitors something of the traditional leisurely lifestyle that's always held sway here.
