Hilton Head Island Travel Tips

  • Golf. That's what you do here. There are 13 courses on the island, covering a wide range of abilities and price points.
  • Sleepy Hilton Head prides itself on quietude. Those looking for nightlife should head an hour south to Savannah, where Bay Street rages until the wee hours.
  • Reel in a trophy fish—cobia, tarpon, and shark all inhabit these waters—during a chartered deep-sea fishing excursion. Many restaurants in town will cook your catch for you.
  • Away from the sharks, kayak with the dolphins that swim and feed around Broad Creek, a sheltered stretch of salt marsh running through the island.
  • Don't be inside during a sunset. Ever. Get amazing views aboard a dinner cruise or from the deck at Old Fort Pub Restaurant next to historic Fort Mitchell.
  • Southern Coney & Breakfast is a clean and friendly restaurant that serves great food at reasonable prices. We loved this place you can get breakfast in the afternoon or lunch in the morning everyday!

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.
