Hilton Head Island sits on Port Royal Sound on South Carolina’s southern coast. The intracoastal waterway to the west separates the barrier island from the mainland, while several creeks criss-crossing the island provide additional spots to enjoy the captivating scenery and fun on the water. Port Royal Sound is the second largest and second deepest natural harbor on the U.S. eastern seaboard. This harbor is a prominent figure in the area’s history, from the Escamacu and Yemassee native peoples to plantations, revolution, and the legacy of the Gullah people.

Beyond golf courses, the iconic lighthouse, and colorful beach umbrellas, Hilton Head Island’s focus on sustaining its natural beauty is enhanced with the arrival of hundreds of loggerhead sea turtles. Each year, thousands of hatchlings born from nests on Hilton Head Island beaches make the trek across the sand to their ocean home.

Hilton Head Island’s pristine beauty provides a safe coastal environment for snowbirds, families, couples, and turtles alike! Come see for yourself why Hilton Head Island is a top coastal vacation destination.
