Activities

Sun, sand, and golf—it's a beachy life on Hilton Head Island

If it's sun-kissed island charm you want, then look no further. Hilton Head Island is a 12-mile long barrier island blessed with dozens of beautiful sandy beaches, many lapped by the Atlantic Ocean. A locals' favorite is South Beach which is dotted with bars and restaurants, and offers watersports instruction. If you'd rather be on the water than in it, then book a dolphin-watching cruise from Harbour Town where sightings of bottlenose dolphins are all but guaranteed. Don't miss a round of golf on one of the many courses on the island.

Weather

You need a head for heat in a Hilton Head Island summer

Hilton Head Island, like much of South Carolina, benefits from a humid subtropical climate, which means long, hot and sticky summers and short, mild winters. In summer, temperatures can easily reach the mid 90s and the chance of heavy rain is high. The summer season happens to be the island's prime time and Hilton Head Island vacation rentals can get snapped up in advance. For a wider choice, visit in spring and fall when the weather is still sunny, the skies are blue and it's a comfortable 70 degrees.

Natural features
