Hilton Head is the second largest island on America’s East Coast. Several things

set Hilton Head apart, other than the obvious things like broad beaches, sub-tropical weath-er and friendly residents. Perhaps the most im-portant is that ours is largely a planned com-munity. Our island has a master plan that sets aside certain areas for single-family homes, condos, commercial development and so on. Look around you and you will see no ocean-front towers or amusement parks.

One of the most unusual characteristics of Hilton Head, especially for a newcomer, is our “plantations.” �e substantial majority of our island is within the boundaries of plantations.

To enter many of our plantations, how-ever, you must be a guest of a property owner or someone with special entry privileges. To enter Sea Pines Plantation and visit Harbour Town and several other well-known a�rac-tions, you need only invest $5 per vehicle for a daily pass at the Sea Pines gate.

Entry fees are a partial source of funding for road maintenance and other plantation expenses. �ere are no state funds contrib-uted toward such expenses.

Even though plantations occupy a major-ity of our island, some of our best beaches are located outside of plantations. In addition, the substantial majority of our dining spots and shopping facilities are not located behind plantation gates. Similarly, most hotels, mo-tels and many rental villas (condominiums) are not on plantations.

Although most golf courses and racquet clubs are on restricted access plantations, special passes are available to allow access to those that are open to the public.

If you are just visiting, we hope that you enjoy your stay on Hilton Head and that you will consider returning o�en.

Welcome to Hilton Head!

The name: Hilton Head Island has no connection to the popular hotel chain or the infamous Paris. � e name actu-ally comes from an English sea captain named William Hilton, who surveyed the coastal waters between present-day Savannah and Charleston. Mapmak-ers at the time named the area’s most prominent feature, “Hilton’s Headlands,” in his honor.

The dark nights: � e town requires that lights visible from the beach are turned o� a� er 10 p.m. from May 1 to Oct. 31. � e reason for the blackout is protection of loggerhead sea turtles. Hatchlings usually emerge from their nest at night. � ey use the moon to orient themselves as they dash towards the sea. Arti� cial lights can have those li� le guys running in the wrong direction. � e entire island is dark at night. Figure out your destina-tion before the sun goes down.

The jellyfi sh: On average, the island reports 10,000 jellyfish stings per year. If you’re one of the lucky ones, apply vinegar, sugar and salt. After 20 minutes, rinse with salt water. You can bring those items to the beach or you can simply track down one of the lifeguards, who has this concoction ready to go in a spray bottle. Peeing on a jellyfish sting is a myth. Please, keep it in your shorts.

The alligators: We have a special ar-rangement with the gators. We leave them alone, they leave us alone. DO NOT FEED THEM. They’ve been around for 200 million years and cer-tainly don’t need half of your turkey sandwich to survive. Once a gator as-

sociates humans with food, it usually has to be killed. You don’t want that on your conscience, do you? If taking pho-tographs, be sure to keep your distance. � ey may look slow but can actually get up to 11 mph in just three steps. Never get between a gator and the water.

The palmetto bugs: We call them palme� o bugs. You probably call them cockroaches. � eir love of hot and h u m i d c l i -mates makes H i l t o n He a d Island the perfect place to cal l home. � ey’re all over the place. No reason to blame the res-taurant if you see one scurry across the � oor. Just be glad there weren’t four more behind him. Many people � nd palme� o bugs disgusting and terrifying, but aside from being a general nuisance, they are harmless to humans. � ey do not bite and are not poisonous. Worry more about our black widow spiders, which do bite and are poisonous.

The sand gnats: � ese li� le blood suckers are often referred to as no-see-ums. � ey’re only a millimeter in size but pack an itchy bite. � e insects thrive in shoreline areas and are most prevalent in the spring at dawn and dusk. Unlike mosquitoes, they travel in packs and a� ack as a group. Cover-ing exposed skin and using bug spray can help, but unfortunately, there is no escaping this evil little midge. Many

people have home remedies they swear by. PGA Tour golfer Boo Weekley rubs Listerine mouthwash on his skin when he plays here. He claims his repellent doubles as a breath freshener each time

he licks his skin.

The traffi c circles: You will find traffic circles all over

the island. The idea is to keep traffic flowing at

busy intersections. M a ny t i m e s ,

t h e y h a v e t h e o p p o -

site effect. The rules are simple.

Yield vehicles already in the circle. When there

is no vehicle barreling to-wards you, merge into the circle.

The right lane is for turning. The left lane is for everything else. No rea-son to be stopped in the middle of one of those with your blinker on.

The bike paths: Hilton Head is one of the most bike-friendly communities on the East Coast. Pre� y much everywhere you want to go, you can get there via bike thanks to nearly 60 miles of multi-use paths. In many places, the paths act as sidewalks. Just stay to the right so bikes can pass on your left. A good cyclist will let you know they are coming up behind you by ringing a bell or yelling, “On your le� .” Simply move to the right side of the path. No need to stop dead in your tracks and turn around to see what is going on.

The Salty Dog T-shirts: Out-of-town-ers can’t get enough of them. Along with the shop at South Beach Marina inside of Sea Pines, you can also visit the Salty Dog T-Shirt Factory, located at 69 Arrow Road. You can pick up all the koozies, T-shirts, sweatshirts and other collectibles without making the trip to South Beach. Say “hello” to par-rots Red Bird and Greenbean, usually hanging out front.

To make your time on Hilton Head Island as enjoyable as possible, here are a few fast facts and insider tips.

About Our Island


There are many reasons why Hilton Head Island is a popular tourist destination. �e unmatched beauty, the 12 miles of pristine beaches, the endless recreational opportunities and the mild winters all play a part. �ere is also the golf. Hilton Head Island and the surrounding area o�er a whopping 52 courses, 32 of which are open to public play. According

to a recent report produced by the South Carolina Department of Tourism, golf generates more income than any other single entertainment or recreation activity in Beaufort County. More than 700,000 rounds of golf are played here each year, generating more than $123 million annually. In short, golf is kind of a big deal around here.

Some of our golf tournaments are kind of a big deal, too. �e week a�er the Masters, Harbour Town Golf Links inside of Sea Pines Resort hosts the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage. Past champions include Jim Furyk, Stewart Cink, Davis Love III, Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Berkeley Hall, an elite private community in neighboring Blu�on, is the host course for the Players Amateur. Past champions there include Rickie Fowler, Camilo Villegas, Bill Haas and Ben Curtis. Want more big names? How about Pete Dye, Robert Trent Jones, George Fazio and George W. Cobb? �ose are just a few of the legendary golf course architects that have built tracks around here.

What makes Hilton Head Island so special?“�e sand,” Dye said. “All of your great courses in Scotland, Ireland and every-where all have that in common. An area that has a sand base is always going to be be�er than where you have a clay base or a soil base. To tell you the truth, the only sand I’ve ever worked on has been right there in South Carolina.”

Respected publications such as Golf Digest and GOLF magazine consistently rank area courses among the nation’s best. �ere is also a course for nearly every pocketbook. You can play 18 on a solid course for less than $30 if you know where to look.

Look no further! Inside this map you will �nd listings and contact information for all the local golf courses you can play. We have also listed greens fees, which are subject to change without notice. Contact the golf course directly for the latest rates, specials and discounts.

There is no need to be a landlubber on Hilton Head Island! �ere are many,

many opportunities to enjoy the water-oriented side of our island.

When you get out on the water, you will see Hilton Head Island and the sur-rounding area from an entirely di�erent perspective. Hilton Head is bordered by hundreds of miles of small inlets and channels, plus the wide vistas of Calibogue Sound to the south and west, Port Royal Sound to the north, and the Atlantic to the east.

�e area also is home to Broad Creek, which approximately bisects the island, and Skull Creek, which separates Hilton Head Island from the pristine Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge at the northwest. Both are substantial areas of water that are not really “creeks” in the

generally accepted sense.Wide open expanses of salt marsh line

many of Hilton Head’s waterways. Home to numerous species of birds, they also offer unspoiled panoramic views of the surrounding land and water.

In many areas, there is enough foli-age or so li�le development that what you see o�en will resemble what visitors saw hundreds of years ago. On the other hand, being on the water also permits an unusual look at some private and lovely areas not easily seen from an automobile or a golf course. �ere are no gates limit-ing access to private plantations when you are on the water. Some of Hilton Head’s waterfront properties are genu-inely spectacular, especially when seen from the “view” side.

good way to start enjoying Hilton Head from the water is to enjoy an excursion tour. Many people �nd a dinner cruise, a sunset cruise or a dolphin-watching expedition to be great fun. (Kids of all ages love to watch dolphins!) Cruises are o�en narrated and are on boats that have all the amenities one would expect, including clean rest rooms.

Vacationers who would like to take a scenic cruise have an excellent selection of boats to choose from. For example, several of Hilton Head’s larger and be�er power boats that o�er cruises include the Spirit of Harbour Town, the Vagabond and the Calibogue. (Check out the advertisers in this section for more information.) For a change of pace, explore Hilton Head Island’s waterways on the large and very a�ractive sailing yacht Stars & Stripes.

Enjoy the Harbors of Hilton HeadHilton Head Island is blessed with nu-merous harbors and marinas. Departure points are at Harbour Town, Shelter Cove Harbour, South Beach Marina Village or near Hudson’s restaurant at the north end of the island—all very interesting places to visit. Taking a walk before or a�er going out on the water is an excellent prelude or �nish to your trip.

Visit the Dolphins�e waters near Hilton Head boast numer-ous dolphins who o�en seem genuinely friendly to humans. Several local boats of-fer tours specializing in dolphin sightings.

Go FishingWith so much water in its vicinity, Hilton Head Island naturally o�ers many op-portunities to go saltwater �shing, either inshore, near shore or by traveling out to the nearby Gulf Stream. Most party boats

provide both bait and tackle (if needed). Just show up, and have a good time!

Numerous kinds of fish swim in local waters, including black sea bass, Atlantic spade�sh, amberjack, barracuda, mahi-mahi, sharks, tuna, etc. Call one or more bait shops in the area, such as Blue Water Bait & Tackle at 843-785-2345 or Southern Drawl Out��ers at 843-705-6010 and ask what kind of �sh are biting.

Note that fishing expeditions in-clude spectacular land and water views at no additional charge!

Dine with Hilton Head Island’s Best Water ViewsWhere can you dine and count on hav-ing the very best view there is? Take a dinner cruise!

Many of Hilton Head’s restaurants boast excellent water views, but none can compare with the views o�ered by a cruising boat as you dine. Not only are there water, marsh and island views in every direction, but the views constantly change. Please call the Spirit of Harbour Town (363-9026) for more information.

Take Your Kids on a Fishing and Nature CruiseSeveral boats o�er special programs to give kids hands-on experiences with fishing, plus real learning experiences concerning sea creatures and the Low-country. In season, some boats offer

separate cruises for kids. Kids can pull a crab pot, throw a cast net, �sh for sharks, spot a dolphin, and much more.

Go SailingBeing on the water in a sailboat is one of the most enjoyable experiences the Lowcountry offers. It’s quite different from being on an engine-powered boat. If you’ve never gone sailing, you’re in for a real treat. Set sail on the America’s Cup yacht Stars & Stripes (363-9446). The 65-foot yacht was skippered by Dennis Conner in the America’s Cup competition. See vistas of Calibogue Sound, Port Royal Sound and the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge.

Visit Daufuskie IslandDaufuskie Island is a very interesting place! To learn more, read our “Visit Daufuskie Island” section, appearing just a�er this one.

Take a Boat to SavannahHilton Head now offers ferry service to Savannah’s Historic Riverfront. You and your family can travel to Savannah in much the same manner as plantation owners did more than a hundred years ago, except that the boat will be more comfortable! At least half the fun is the trip itself, which takes voyagers past numerous islands and up the Savannah River. It’s a great opportunity to relax, watch the other boats go by, and see everything from beautiful homes to com-mercial establishments along the shore.

When you arrive in Savannah, be sure to explore the Historic Riverfront. It has lots of interesting shops, restaurants and other a�ractions. Many of the shops and restaurants are built in the basements of what used to be cotton warehouses, right next to the Savannah River. Enjoy a leisurely lunch, then explore the nearby part of the city, which boasts park-like squares and beautiful old buildings. You may wish to go for a horse-drawn carriage ride through the Historic District; board the Barba Negra, an old whaling ship tied up near the Hya� Regency; visit the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum; or just watch the river and people go by. A�er you have enjoyed your visit to Savannah, return to your boat for the return trip back.

Daufuskie Island is only about a mile from Hilton Head as the proverbial crow �ies, but it is far, far away from Hilton

Head in many important ways. Parts of it are like turning the clock back a hundred or more years in time. �e remaining, more developed areas are very low-key.

The reason Daufuskie is so different from the nearby mainland and other Sea Islands (like Hilton Head) is that it is reachable only by boat.

Daufuskie is only about 30 minutes from Hilton Head by boat. Most sandy dirt roads reveal an island that is rich in history and nature, with one of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast.

Some HistoryAmerican Indians were present on Daufuskie 10,000 years ago. Many artifacts have been found that date back thousands of years. American Indians remained on Daufuskie until the 1800s.

�e Spanish arrived on the island in the 1500s, when Daufuskie was considered part of Florida. Plantations were started in the late 1600s and early 1700s, a�er the English gained ownership of South Carolina. For the most part, Daufuskie land grants were given out to wealthy English families. �e early plantations planted indigo. Around 1800, co�on became king.

When the Civil War broke out there were seven working plantations on Daufuskie Island. Many of the plantations on the island were so ornate that they were wri�en about in European travel magazines.

Union forces took over Daufuskie during the �rst year of the Civil War and remained until 1865. At the end of the war the Union forces le�, and Daufuskie was inhabited primarily by the freed slaves. �ese freed slaves, because of the isolation of the island, kept a culture alive that would have disappeared long ago. �at “Gullah” culture still exists on Daufuskie Island to this day.

�e early 1900s saw Daufuskie Island at the height of its prosperity. �e local economy �ourished with the sale of sea-island cotton, indigo, lumber, farm goods and oysters. However, by 1920 the boll weevil had decimated the island’s co�on crops. Many residents were forced to leave during the great depression of the 1930s, and more le� a�er Savannah River water polluted and ruined many of the area’s best oyster

beds. By the early 1980s, there reportedly were fewer than 100 permanent residents.

�e 1972 Pat Conroy book, �e Water is Wide, was set on Daufuskie, �ctionalized as “Yamacraw Island.” �e book re-counts Conroy’s experiences teaching on the island in the 1960s.

Daufuskie Island TodayToday, Daufuskie Island is largely residential. It has a full-time population of around 300 and is home to two resorts. �ere are very few motor vehicles. Many residents and visitors use golf carts as their primary mode of transportation.

Several boats provide public transportation to Daufuskie Island. An extensive schedule is maintained by the Capt. Eulice of Calibogue Cruises. Please refer to the advertisement on the next page. Additional Daufuskie Island and other Calibogue Cruises programs and activities also are described on the page. �e Vagabond, appearing in an ad in the “Boating, Cruising & Fish-ing” section, also provides transportation to Daufuskie Island.

When you arrive on Daufuskie, you may choose to take a fully narrated, guided tour of the island or to explore on your own on a rented, gas-powered golf cart. �ere’s an old winery, an ancient church, an old schoolhouse and other sites made famous by Conrack—the movie adaptation of �e Water Is Wide—plus beautiful beaches and more.

Events Are Subject to ChangePlease call to con�rm event descriptions, dates, times, fees and other ma�ers of importance. Don’t be disappointed.

Visit Daufuskie Island

If the ride over to Daufuskie weren’t enjoyable enough, passing beautiful homes, seeing smaller islands, watching the dolphins swimming along side the boat; then the experiences on Daufuskie Island will definitely make you glad you chose to make a trip to one of the most scenic and historical islands on the East Coast. There are buses to take you in comfort around the island, and golf carts to allow you to experience the island on your own.

Maybe just enjoying the quiet breezes as you lounge outside at one of the picnic tables overlooking Calibogue Sound will be one of your lasting memories. In any case, there’s plenty to do on this special island Pat Conroy wrote about in “The Water Is Wide” so many years ago.

Daufuskie Island is a beautiful location for a wedding, reunion, graduation party, family gathering or any fun occasion. Special discounted rates are available for groups. Consider spending the night in one of the comfortable air-conditioned Daufuskie Crab Cottages. “Rustic elegance” away from it all and an experience you’ll love sharing with your friends when you get back home.

Bicycling is one of the best ways to see Hilton Head. It is good exercise and is just plain fun.Hilton Head Island is one of the best places anywhere to go

biking. Where else can bikers choose between lightly travelled local roads, many miles of bike paths (reportedly over 40 miles in total!) and 12 miles of hard-packed sand on our broad beaches?

Hilton Head is very �at, so bicyclers may either pedal along in a leisurely way, or — if so inclined — get more vigorous exercise by traveling at a higher rate of speed. Because most vacationers choose a relatively leisurely pace, most rental bikes are single-speed “cruiser bikes” with wide seats and tires, and brakes operated using pedals. However, many rental companies o�er mountain and other geared bikes, generally at a slightly higher rate than for cruisers.

Probably the best places for riding bikes are on our bike paths and on the beach. Sea Pines, Shipyard and Palme�o Dunes all have extensive networks of bike paths, as illustrated by the red lines on the bike routes map in this section. �ere also are paths along Pope Avenue, North and South Forest Beach Drive and William Hilton Parkway (Highway 278) between Sea Pines Circle, Palme�o Dunes and Hilton Head Plantation. In addition, for three or four hours before and a�er low tide (low tide occurs approximately every 12 hours) the beach e�ectively is a 12-mile-long bike route that runs up and down the island and connects the plantations. At high tide, however, the sand not covered by water is o�en too so� to support

Hilton Head’s Fascinating Past

Contrary to what many might think, there were people on Hilton Head

long before tourists started arriving in substantial numbers, and even before the island was a co�on plantation community.

Human habitation of the island probably dates back at least 4,500 years. Wandering American Indians — the �rst tourists — visited long before some decided to take up permanent residence. When Europeans learned of our island early in the 16th century, local American Indians already were engaged in agricul-ture, hunting, �shing and shell�shing.

Signs of our American Indian prede-cessors are evident even today. Shell rings and mounds are the most prevalent remains. Although shell mounds are usually indis-criminate piles of mixed oyster shells and artifacts, shell rings are rather formidable structures requiring a great deal of time and labor to construct. �ese rings can range in diameter from 130 to 150 feet, with wall thicknesses of 25 to 70 feet. �ey are be-lieved to have served a ceremonial function.

Europeans Settle On Hilton Head�e �rst European explorer on the island is considered by many to have been a Spaniard, Pedro de Quexos, who found the island sometime in the early 16th century. �e English began establishing se�lements on Hilton Head in the mid-17th century. Capt. William Hilton, for whom the island was named, was among England’s first explorers in the area and kept careful maps and descriptions of his adventures.

By the 1790s, co�on was king on

Hilton Head. Before the Civil War, there were about 24 plantations, on which cot-ton was the main crop. Indigo, sugar cane and rice also were grown.

Many of the plantation owners en-joyed a very a�uent lifestyle supported by Sea Island co�on, a special co�on sold for premium prices, and the labor of nu-merous slaves. �e tabby foundations of plantation houses and remnants of slave cemeteries are visible at a number of loca-tions — the Baynard Ruins, for example (see “Your Scenic Driving Tour”).

Effects of the Civil War�e Civil War brought an end to Hilton Head’s plantation economy. Approximate-ly seven months a�er the �rst shots were �red at Fort Sumter near Charleston, more than 12,000 Union soldiers landed on Hilton Head. �e invasion of Hilton Head was one of the largest naval engagements ever fought in American waters. With the arrival of Union forces, plantation-owning families vacated their plantations.

Hilton Head served as headquarters for the Union’s Department of the South and for the blockade of ships seeking to transport supplies to the Confederate forces. �e success of that blockade is cred-ited with being one of the principal reasons for the military defeat of the Confederacy.

�e area surrounding Fort Walker, what is now Port Royal Plantation, became a thriving port. Its main street, “Robbers’ Row,” boasted three hotels with reputations for quality that report-edly rivaled that of similar establishments in Newport, R.I.

�e strategic role of the island re-quired the establishment of many military installations, including four earthen forts, one ba�ery, two camps and a steam can-non (never �red) in defense of Port Royal Harbor. �e federal government retained ownership of its holding on Hilton Head, and reactivated them for both the Spanish American War and World War I.

Many remnants of these installa-tions exist today. Fort Mitchel on Hilton Head Plantation (see “Your Scenic Driv-ing Tour”), is a good example of a Civil War earthen fort. Many of its earthworks remain substantially intact, and are posted with appropriate signs to help visitors understand what they are seeing.

Following the end of the Civil War, a substantial portion of the island’s land was distributed to freed blacks and to “loyal white Northerners” at bargain prices. However, the post-war economy of Hilton Head never came close to equaling that of the early 19th century until very recently.

The 20th CenturyHilton Head remained rural through the �rst half of the 20th century, with many parcels of land owned and used by North-erners as hunting preserves. �e last cul-tivation of co�on surrendered to the boll weevil, and the island’s economy became based primarily on hunting and �shing.

By 1949, approximately 19,000 of Hilton Head’s 25,000 acres had been consolidated into a single large hunting plantation. In 1950, Fred C. Hack, J.B. Fraser and C.C. Stebbins founded the


Hilton Head’s Fascinating PastHilton Head Co. and acquired the land for its timber potential and for possible future development of summer beach colonies. Throughout the subsequent logging process, care was taken to preserve the island’s natural beauty to facilitate eventual development of a residential community.

In 1953, the island’s �rst regular ferry service from the mainland was established, and in 1956, the �rst bridge to the main-land was completed. The completion of Hilton Head’s �rst bridge was truly a milestone in our history. Easy access by automobile made its present role as a resort and retirement community feasible.

Hilton Head reportedly was far more isolated in the early 1950s than it had been between 1836 and 1940. During that earlier period, it had been a regular stopping place for the coastal steamers that operated along the South-eastern coast. Steamer service declined following World War I, when rice and co�on production in the area was largely discontinued. Trucks using newly paved north-south highways became a more ef-�cient means of other coastal commerce, leading the last of the coastal steamers to go out of business by 1946.

A Premiere Resort and Retirement Community�e year 1956 also was important in the history of Hilton Head because it was the year the Fraser family withdrew from the Hilton Head Co. and founded the Sea Pines Co., which subsequently acquired what is now Hilton Head Plantation.

Under the direction of Charles Fra-ser, the Sea Pines Co. immediately began development of Sea Pines Plantation, which has become a prototype of how carefully planned development of major tracts of land can be accomplished with-out destroying much of the a�ractiveness of the land and of nature.

�e “Sea Pines approach” was ex-cellent land-use planning, se�ing aside substantial tracts of land for amenities and open-space areas, and protecting plans, the environment and property owners by extensive deed restrictions on all property. Sea Pines Plantation’s �nal master plan, completed in 1974, included four golf courses, 75 tennis courts, and a covenant-enforced ceiling of 5,890

residential dwelling units and 200 hotel rooms on 4,500 acres.

Hilton Head’s other plantations are similar in concept. All have master plans, include many amenities and substantial open space, and are protected by strongly wri�en covenants.

Many of the island’s plantations have matured to the point where they no longer are controlled by developers. Control of common areas and other operational ma�ers now is largely in the hands of property owners’ associations in Sea Pines, Shipyard, Wexford, Long Cove, Port Royal, Hilton Head, Spanish Wells and Moss Creek Plantations. Control of other plantations will be in property own-ers’ hands in due course, when they reach predetermined levels of development.

Not all of Hilton Head is included within the con�nes of plantations, how-ever. Most commercial development and many a�ractive neighborhoods are located outside of plantation gates.

Future development of areas not on plantations is protected by an island-wide master plan and land management ordi-nance that limit density of development and control the type of development per-mi�ed by area. �e la�er functions much like zoning in other areas of the country.

Hilton Head As a TownBeginning in the early 1970s, many island-ers began to realize that careful planning and control of development eventually would be necessary to preserve many of the best things about Hilton Head. In 1980, a�er islanders’ a�empts to a�ain a greater role in Beaufort County decisions concerning Hilton Head failed, the Cham-ber of Commerce set up commi�ees to in-vestigate the possibility of incorporation.

In May 1983, a referendum on incorporation of the island passed with about 60 percent of voters in favor. �e voters also endorsed establishment of a council-manager form of government.

In August 1983, the �rst municipal government elections were held, and a mayor and four at-large members of town council were elected. �ree days later, the �rst mayor and town council of the Town of Hilton Head Island were sworn in. Our present town council includes �ve members elected from geographic

districts, plus a council member and a mayor elected at-large.

In January 1987, the town council passed Hilton Head’s new land manage-ment ordinance. Passage represented the culmination of years of e�ort by the planning commission, town council and many others to place realistic controls on development and growth. �e ordinance includes a zoning plan separating Hilton Head into residential, commercial and mixed-use districts. In addition, corridor architectural review is mandated within 500 feet of main thoroughfares and waterfront.

Master plans of plantations were ef-fectively grandfathered, and were largely una�ected by the new land management ordinance.

Hilton Head Today and TomorrowToday, Hilton Head is one of the most a�ractive places anywhere to visit or live. It boasts miles of beaches, dozens of golf courses, hundreds of tennis courts, more than 200 restaurants, hundreds of shops, an excellent community orchestra and live theater, and much more.

As a result, Hilton Head clearly is di�erent from the place it used to be just three decades ago. It no longer is a sleepy backwater resort community familiar to only a privileged few. Instead, it is a vibrant resort and retirement community with a remarkable range of amenities for everyone to enjoy and a good mix of people from all over the United States and around the world. By the time Hilton Head reaches “build-out,” it probably will have slightly in excess of 45,000 perma-nent residents. In addition, nearby areas of the mainland also are booming.

We believe that the majority of resi-dents and visitors will be pleased with the results of future development. �ere still will be tranquility to be found behind plantation gates and in numerous areas o�-plantation. With good control of the character of future development, which our land management ordinance will assure, our unique and re-markable package of amenities promises to become be�er than ever!

Hilton Head’s past is, indeed, fas-cinating. Its future may well be of even greater interest — and we will have the opportunity to enjoy it!

Serve immediately.

BY SALLY KERR-DINEEN

While I love these delicacies and can’t wait for the temperatures to drop so it gets a bit colder and our season kicks in, the big “O’s” are certainly not for everyone.

Our local oyster season runs from mid-September through mid-May (easy to remember – any month with an “R” in it and then just tack on May). You also might want to know that we have the state’s oldest oyster factory right here in Blu�on. �e Blu�on Oyster Company has picked and shucked oysters for the past 100 years from the banks and waters of the May River.

Oyster lovers delight in slurping down the plump body, delicate rich sweet �avor, and salty juice. Oyster detractors note that it is a gray, slimy, phlegmatic, milky blob that the good Lord sealed inside a razor-edged rock for our own protection.

Oh, but when the treasure is unlocked…Oyster aficionados rejoice and detractors are quickly converted. Purists maintain that raw on the half shell with a scant

spoonful of a Mignone�e Sauce is the only way to go. But for the “texture challenged” there’s always smoked, roasted, steamed, broiled, in a stew, a bisque and, of course, the classic Oysters Rockefeller, created by Jules Alciatore in 1899 for his father’s New Orleans restau-rant, Antoine’s. Antoine’s still serves up their original signature dish and maintains that the true recipe remains a family secret with others being only close seconds at best and imposters at worst.

If you’re a fan, you’ll be happy to know that the beloved bivalve is high in calcium, protein and iron as well as only having 110 calories per dozen – perfect for the pre-holiday season diet.

And as far as raw oysters being an aphrodisiac? Well, back in 2005 an Italian and American team of researchers proved that yes, they really are. We’ll leave it you to imag-ine how exactly they proved this. So if you’re serving up some oysters to beat the heat with that special some-one, don’t forget the champagne.

Your way with an oyster... Keep it raw… Keep it real.

HEAVEN on a half shell… for some

Get Busy

1. Visit the Coastal Discovery Museum70 Honey Horn Drive�is should be your �rst stop for all things Hilton Head. Everything you want or need to know about the area’s heritage and history can be found here. Plus, it’s free. Save your coin for the ice cream shop!

2. Climb the lighthouse149 Lighthouse RoadCheck out the unbeatable view from the top of Hilton Head’s most famous landmark. The lighthouse is also a museum, displaying 19th Century and Civil War-era artifacts and photographs.

3. Play our famous golf course11 Lighthouse LaneHome to the RBC Heritage, PGA Tour players recently ranked Harbour Town Golf Links second in a poll of their favorites on tour. �at private course up in Augusta, Ga., �nished �rst. Ours is open to the public!

Looking for something to do in this little corner of paradise? Here are a few ideas (exclamation points indicate we are particularly excited).

4. Explore the island … on a bikeBike map on Page 28�row your car keys in the Atlantic and experience terri�c biking along the beach and throughout the island’s beautiful trails. Didn’t bring your bike? No sweat. Find bike rental shops all over the island.

5. Explore the other islandSee more on Page 26Take the public ferry or any boat to Daufuskie Island, a tiny place with some big-time beauty. Golf carts are available for rent at either of the island’s two marinas. You may bump into resident John Mellencamp (don’t call him Cougar).

6. Hit the beachSee beach map on Inside Back CoverMore than 12 miles of pristine sand awaits. Coligny Beach Park and Forest Beach are the most popular spot for visitors. Throw a frisbee, build a sandcastle,

try skimboarding or just kick back and soak in the rays. If you hail from a landlocked state, use SPF 50+.

7. Go dolphin watchingSee more on Page 23In Orlando, you’ll pay $80 to watch the world’s saddest dolphins mull about their depressing enclosures. You can see them free here, frolicking in their natural habitat. More than 200 live here full-time and many more are migratory. Spot them from the beach or get even closer via boat.

8. Spend a day in SavannahTake a historic carriage tour, sit on the Forrest Gump bench or just soak in the unmatched beauty of River Street. �e coolest way to get to Savannah is by boat. If you don’t have access to a vessel, it’s about an hour’s drive. Good times await.

9. Rent a boatSee more on Page 23If you didn’t bring a boat, you can rent one by the hour or by the day. Rentals of all sizes are available all year, allowing you to explore our numerous waterways at your own pace. Visit Daufuskie Island or �nd the May River sandbar (aka Redneck Riviera).

10. Dine at the Sea Shack6B Executive Park Rd.If you can sneak past the o�en insane lines — thank you very much, Rachael Ray — it’s one of the best spots on the island. Fresh seafood and down-home Lowcountry cooking, served on paper plates. Try the blackened mahi.

11. Fly through the tree tops33 Broad Creek Marina WayZipLine Hilton Head is the island’s newest eco-tourism attraction. For $67, you get a two-hour tour zipping through the massive live oaks and pines, overlooking Broad Creek. You can also zip the racing line only for $22.

12. Play in the Sandbox18A Pope Avenue�e Sandbox, An Interactive Children’s Museum, is a non-profit, hands-on museum geared for kids under age 8. �e museum, located on Pope Avenue on the south end, is open most days, but it o�ers a host of special events, Parents Nights Out and Family Fun Nights.


Would you like to have outstanding Hilton Head accommodations

at guaranteed a�ractive prices for many years into the future? Would you like to be able to trade your Hilton Head place to stay for upscale accommodations around the country or around the world, includ-ing Hawaii, the Caribbean and Europe? If so, please read on!

You can obtain these benefits by purchasing the right “shared ownership” property on Hilton Head, one of the world’s most famous upscale resorts. If you buy with the right objectives, shared ownership property can be a truly out-standing opportunity.

Guarantee Future Vacations at Today’s Prices�ere is no doubt about it: Upscale va-cation accommodations are expensive, and ge�ing more expensive each year. However, to go �rst class, vacationers must accept annual increases in prices unless they can a�ord to own a vacation place of their own.

If you buy shared-ownership prop-erty, you effectively join with other like-minded people to purchase accom-modations that would not be practical for you to buy on your own. Both use of the property and expenses associated with its construction and management are shared.

One of the most a�ractive bene�ts of shared ownership is that the “real” cost of your vacation accommodations should never increase, or at least, it will increase relatively li�le. �e expense of your share of taxes and fees, of course, will go up over time. However, the value of included amenities for which you otherwise would pay cash, such as golf, tennis, beach access, etc., very likely will increase at about the same rate.

Amenities Are Outstanding�e most important reason most people would purchase a vacation in the �rst place is for their own pleasure and that of their families! One of the best aspects of most shared-ownership properties is that they genuinely are upscale, with all of the comforts of home and then some. Many boast such bells and whistles as DVD players, multiple �at-screen TVs, stereos, wet bars, hot tubs, etc.

Most also boast outstanding ame-nities packages that may include free or reduced-rate golf and tennis, use of boats, use of bicycles, use of private plantation facilities, etc. �e value of these amenities o�en is much greater than people suspect (o�en in the hundreds of dollars a week), and should increase every year.

You Can Trade for Vacations ElsewhereOne of the most exciting aspects of shared ownership projects is the ability to trade for accommodations elsewhere. Hilton Head is a wonderful place to visit, but occasionally you may want a change of pace. Alternatively, you may prefer to spend some time here each year and some time at other vacation spots.

Most Hilton Head shared-ownership properties are associated with RCI (Re-sort Condominiums International) or II (Interval International), or have a com-parable arrangement with another group. Association with RCI or II permits Hilton Head owners to trade their vacation weeks on Hilton Head for vacation weeks in resorts around the world for a modest fee.

Both RCI and II have standards that must be met before properties are ac-cepted, so you may be con�dent that the property that you trade for will be a�rac-tive. If you want to be especially sure that you are going to be in a quality property, be sure that you’re trading for an RCI Gold Crown or an II �ve-star property.

�ere is a downside to trading for properties elsewhere. Not every location will be available exactly when you want it, and some are available only occasionally for trade. However, truly desirable proper-ties usually are available most of the time. And if you wish to trade for accommoda-tions at a particular resort in Hawaii or the Caribbean, and you cannot arrange it when you wish, having your time on Hilton Head is not a bad consolation!

You Often Can Rent Your PropertyOne of the major changes on Hilton Head over the last decade is the improvement in opportunities to rent vacation weeks to people who wish to vacation on Hilton Head. Most major timeshare marketers have rental divisions. �ere also are sev-eral independent �rms that specialize in rental of shared-ownership properties. Of course, it also is possible to rent through your local newspaper or a notice on the bulletin board of a club at home.

As a general rule, however, using or trading your shared ownership property usually is more appealing, since you must pay a commission to the rental �rm you use. Furthermore, it is not always pos-sible to �nd a renter at the exact time you want one.

Visit At Least One Shared-Ownership Property!You should seriously consider visiting at least one shared-ownership property to learn more about the opportunities that are available.

If wonderful vacation accommoda-tions and exciting vacations for yourself and your family are your objective, you may be very glad you took the time to investigate! In any event, you will have learned more about a vacation accommo-dations alternative that has been selected by millions of Americans.

Hilton Head Island, one of America’s premiere resort and residential com-

munities, has so much to o�er that it is almost impossible to experience it all during one visit—or to be realistic, even during many visits. With countless scenic a�ractions, 12 miles of ocean beach, more than 200 restaurants, nearly 100 miles of fairway, hundreds of tennis courts, dozens of interesting neighborhoods, unspoiled nature preserves and sophisticated shops, a person could spend months ge�ing to know even the best parts of Hilton Head.

�e purpose of this scenic driving tour is to help you to sample many of the good things on Hilton Head that have made it a�ractive to many discriminating people. It includes harbors, salt marshes, fairways, neighborhoods, selected hotels and much more.

One of the best parts of the tour is that it is free, except for fuel for your car and the $5 per vehicle daily entry fee at Sea Pines Plantation.

We have provided you with a sug-gested tour itinerary (beginning below) and a full-page tour map in this section. We have identi�ed several restaurants that you may wish to consider as part of your tour. All are among Hilton Head’s be�er restaurants. Some o�er excellent water and marina views.

Several restaurants located on the tour route that serve lunch—listed here in their order along the tour—include Truffles Cafe (both in Sea Pines Center and o� Pope Avenue), Plantation Cafe, Sea Shack, Casey’s, British Open Pub, Hilton Head Diner and the French Bakery (tucked away in Pineland Station Mall).

Many vacationers plan the scenic tour with the intention of stopping o� at one of the preceding restaurants. For more information, please refer to our “Restaurants & Dining Out” section.

Where to Begin Your TourYour suggested tour begins on Green-wood Drive, just south of Sea Pines Cir-cle. Sea Pines Circle is at the intersection of William Hilton Parkway (Highway 278) and Pope Avenue, about two thirds

of the way south from the northern end of the island.

It is not necessary, however, to begin your tour at Sea Pines Circle. If it is more convenient, or if you do not wish to take the entire tour at once, simply start at any point on the tour and proceed as directed therea�er.

You also may wish to visit only se-lected stops on the suggested tour. If time is limited, read through the descriptions of the various stops, and decide which would be of greatest interest to you. You’ll need two hours or more to complete the entire tour, even if you never leave your car, so plan accordingly.

A Word of CautionParts of this tour are within Sea Pines and Hilton Head Plantations. Both are private plantations that will give you permission to go to selected destinations. While you are within their boundaries, please do not stray o� of this suggested route. �ere have been instances of substantial �nes being imposed for “just driving around” private neighborhoods.

Actually, “just driving around” the private plantations is not necessary to acquaint you with what makes Hilton Head a�ractive.

Getting StartedFrom just south of Sea Pines Circle, proceed toward Sea Pines Plantation on Greenwood Drive. Greenwood Drive, an extension of William Hilton Parkway (Highway 278), which brought you onto Hilton Head, is halfway around the circle from the end of William Hilton Parkway. Bear right as you approach the Sea Pines entrance gate, and purchase a pass (currently $5 per vehicle for a day) from the security guard. When you purchase your pass, ask about the free shu�le service to Harbour Town, which you may choose to use if Sea Pines Planta-tion is crowded and you wish to stop at Harbour Town. Drive south into Sea Pines, along Greenwood Drive for about one mile. Turn right onto Plantation Drive. If you see horses and stables on your right, you have gone too far!

Stop 1: Harbour Town, and Stop 2: Harbour Town PierHarbour Town may be the best known of Hilton Head’s scenic a�ractions. �e marina is a popular stop for yachts traveling up and down the Intracoastal Waterway, which extends from New York to Key West. Har-bour Town has numerous shops and several restaurants.

Your Scenic Driving Tour


To reach Harbour Town, proceed along Plantation Drive to Lighthouse Road. Notice the pleasant homes, many built along the fairways of the Heron Point Golf Course, as you drive. Turn right onto Lighthouse Road at what seems to be the end of Plantation Drive (actually, it con-tinues a�er a jog to the le�), then continue along Lighthouse Road to Harbour Town.

Harbour Town, like Shelter Cove Harbour (farther along your tour), is considered by many to re�ect much of the essence of Hilton Head. It and Shelter Cove Harbour are two places where you should get out of your car and walk.

If you continue as far as you can go on Lighthouse Road, you will �nd yourself in one of the most scenic park-ing areas anywhere. If there is room, park your car overlooking Calibogue Sound. If the lot is full, you should turn around and retrace your steps. You will see additional parking on the right (preferably) or le� as you return along Lighthouse Road.

A�er you have parked, walk to the harbor. �ere is a walkway that goes all the way around it. At one end is the famous red and white Harbour Town Lighthouse.

There is a pier at the base of the lighthouse that will take you well out into

Calibogue Sound. It is almost like being in a boat without leaving shore.

�ree of Hilton Head’s tour boats, the new, beautiful Spirit of Harbour Town,the 82-foot ultra-yacht Vagabond, and the sailing yacht Stars & Stripes operate from the Harbour Town pier. Each o�ers an outstanding way to see Hilton Head from a di�erent and totally delightful perspective. �e Spirit of Harbour Town even o�ers an elegant sunset dinner cruise. Please refer to our “Boating, Cruising & Fishing” section for more information.

Topside Waterfront is a great place to stop mid-tour for a great dinner comple-mented by an outstanding view of Cali-bogue Sound. Crazy Crab, at the base of the harbor, also is a great place for either lunch or dinner. Please refer to our “Din-ing Out” section for more information.

If you want a truly outstanding sce-nic tour from the water, include a cruise from Harbour Town, South Beach Village or Shelter Cove Harbour (the la�er two locations are farther along your route) as part of your itinerary!

After strolling out to the end of the pier, return to the path around the harbor. Visit some of the shops and gal-leries. Or, just sit back and relax on the

old-fashioned rockers overlooking the yachts in the harbor.

Before you leave, be sure to stroll all the way around the harbor until you are opposite the lighthouse. Notice the elegant yachts as you walk. When you reach the end of the path, you will be standing just past the 18th green of the famous Harbour Town Golf Links, home of the prestigious RBC Heritage golf tournament.

As you return, you may wish to take the �rst walkway (really a lane) on your right and explore the residential area on foot.

Stop 3: Baynard Ruins ParkA�er you are �nished touring Harbour Town, return to Lighthouse Road and return the way you came in. Turn right onto Plantation Drive, the second major street on your right. As you drive along southern Plantation Drive, note the love-ly vistas on your right leading up to the Harbour Town Golf Links Clubhouse.

Also glance down the fairways and streets on your le�. �ey are representa-tive of many of Hilton Head’s nicer golf-oriented neighborhoods. Baynard Ruins Park is on your right just a�er you pass

Your Scenic Driving Tour



Baynard Cove Road and Marsh Drive. If you wish, park your car at the entrance, and explore the ruins of the pre-Civil War home of William E. Baynard.

�e ruins consist of foundations le� when a Confederate raiding party razed the structure following the occupation of Hilton Head by Union forces during the Civil War. �e Baynard home had been the long-time headquarters of a 2,450-acre co�on plantation.

Stop 4: South Beach VillageAfter visiting Baynard Ruins, return to Lighthouse Road and turn right. Proceed to the tra�c circle. Turn right onto Greenwood Drive (the �rst right, a quarter of the way around the circle). Follow Greenwood Drive to its end, then turn right onto South Sea Pines Drive.

Follow South Sea Pines Drive south until you see New England–style South Beach Village on your right. As you drive south along South Sea Pines Drive, notice the a�ractive homes and panoramic marsh views.

When you reach South Beach Vil-lage, you may wish to stop for a stroll. You will �nd boats, charming shops, and an overall atmosphere that is both pleasant and rather quaint.

Stop 5: South Forest Beach A�er leaving South Beach Village, from South Sea Pines Drive, continue straight ahead (do not turn back onto Greenwood Drive) all the way through the eastern portion of Sea Pines. When in doubt, bear right. You will see a�ractive neigh-borhoods and golf vistas along the way.

A�er you exit through Sea Pines’ Ocean Gate, bear right as you travel onward. Soon you will be on South Forest Beach Drive.

South Forest Beach has Hilton Head’s largest concentration of ocean-oriented hotel, motel and villa (condo-minium) accommodations. As you drive north, you will see several hotels and motels, plus numerous villas.

Proceed north along South Forest Beach Drive to Coligny Circle. Turn le� onto Pope Avenue (three quarters of the way around Coligny Circle). Drive along Pope Avenue to Sea Pines Circle (the next tra�c circle), go a quarter of the way

around the circle, then travel north on William Hilton Parkway (Highway 278).

Stop 6: Shelter Cove HarbourContinue north about three miles to Pal-me�o Dunes. Turn le� at the tra�c light at the entrance to Palme�o Dunes to reach Shelter Cove. �en proceed several hundred yards and you will be at the center of the Shelter Cove Harbour area.

Shelter Cove Harbour, a Mediterra-nean-style harborside village, is another area where you should park your car and take a pleasant stroll. Shelter Cove boasts pleasant shops and restaurants, numerous boats and yachts, and lovely water vistas. Shelter Cove is Hilton Head’s largest harbor.

As you stroll, notice the Holiday,which o�ers an excellent opportunity to see Hilton Head from a di�erent, in-teresting and thoroughly entertaining perspective. The 70-foot party fishing boat Captain Hook and other boats o�er opportunities for deep-sea �shing. For more information, please refer to our “Boating, Cruising & Fishing” section.

If you like Shelter Cove (and you will!), consider returning for happy hour or dinner at King�sher Seafood and Steak House or another restaurant. Or, plan your tour for just before or a�er lunch, dinner or happy hour. For more informa-tion, refer to our “Dining Out” section.

Stop 7: Palmetto DunesWhen you are ready to leave Shelter

Cove Harbour, return to William Hilton Parkway and proceed directly across it onto Queens Folly Way. �e Hilton Head Marrio� Beach & Golf Resort is at the ocean end of Queens Folly Way. Notice the a�ractive fair-ways and large lagoons on your right and le�.

At the end of Queens Folly Way, go all the way around the tra�c circle, return to William Hilton Parkway, turn right, and proceed north.

Stop 8: Port Royal Resort

Continue north on William Hilton Parkway. Turn right at the entrance to Port Royal Resort (several miles north), onto Coggins Point Road.

Make the second possible le� turn (about 100 yards before the Port Royal security gate), and proceed to the end of the road.

If you look to your le� you will see the unusually a�ractive Port Royal Club-house. More about that later!

Turn right, and proceed to the Wes-tin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. If you have time, park in the lot in front of the Westin, go inside and stroll through the premises. �e Westin is a remarkably a�ractive resort hotel.


If you do not wish to stop at The Westin, make a U-turn at the entrance to the hotel and return to the Port Royal Club-house. If you wish, park your car and stroll around it, too. You will �nd a pu�ing green, croquet facilities, a pro shop, a driving range and all of the other amenities usually associ-ated with a �ne gol�ng facility — plus three challenging 18-hole gol�ng layouts.

Stop 9: Fort Mitchel and Hilton Head Plantation

Fort Mitchel, deep in Hilton Head Plantation, is the last stop on the scenic tour. Please note that the security sta� will not admit you to visit Fort Mitchel a�er dark or if you arrive at dusk. �e area is very dark and not suitable for visiting late in the day.

Fort Mitchel, built in 1863, served as a base for the Union Blockade of Confederate supplies to Savannah and Charleston. It is a classic example of a seacoast earthworks gun ba�ery of the Civil War era.

�e remains of the earthworks plus two Civil War cannons are at the Fort Mitchel site. Pathways wind among the ruins, with signs along the way to explain

the signi�cance of each section.There are two special benefits to

visiting Fort Mitchel. First, visitors see large parts of Hilton Head Plantation, one of our island’s non-resort-oriented plantations. Second, Fort Mitchel has a lovely view of Skull Creek and the marshlands beyond.

To reach Fort Mitchel, return to Wil-liam Hilton Parkway, and travel north (turn right) until you reach the entrance to Hilton Head Plantation, and turn right. Ask the guard at the security gate for a pass to Fort Mitchel. Remember, your pass is valid only for travel directly to and from Fort Mitchel.

Proceed straight ahead to the end of Whooping Crane Way, then turn le� onto Seabrook Drive. Follow Seabrook Drive to Skull Creek Drive, and turn right. �ere are signs for Fort Mitchel, the Country Club of Hilton Head and other destinations at the intersection of Seabrook and Skull Creek Drives. The entrance to Fort Mitchel is on the le�, a short distance down Skull Creek Drive. Park your car in the large lot, and stroll around Fort Mitchel.

Even though your route is directly to and from Fort Mitchel, you can’t

help but notice the pleasant homes, the extensive Spring Lake Recreation Area at the intersection of Whooping Crane Way and Seabrook Drive — complete with Spring Lake Racquet Club, a large swimming pool, a picnic grove and two large structures for gatherings of planta-tion residents — and the fairways that may be seen threading their way through many of the plantation’s neighborhoods.

Stop 10: End of Your TourWhen you are ready to leave the

Fort Mitchel area, return to William Hil-ton Parkway (Highway 278) by simply reversing the route you followed from William Hilton Parkway to Fort Mitchel.

We hope that you enjoy this scenic tour and that it helps you know Hilton Head much be�er than you did before you began. If you see some areas you especially like, why not return to them for a longer visit?

Finally, if you �nd any of our direc-tions unclear, if you have a problem with access to a plantation, or if you have any comments or suggestions concerning our tour directions, we would very much ap-preciate hearing from you! Please contact us at (843) 681-3800.


The beaches on Hilton Head Island rank among the most beautiful in the

world, according to Travel + Leisure maga-zine. Hilton Head boasts 12 miles of ocean beach, plus additional stretches of beach facing Port Royal and Calibogue Sounds. �e sand of our ocean beaches (except just below the dunes) is very �rm, providing an excellent surface for walking, jogging, games of many types and even biking.

Most of Hilton Head’s ocean beach-es are backed by natural dunes. Many also are lined by towering pines, live oaks and palme�o trees.

At low tide, almost all of our beaches are very wide. Even at high tide, most still remain wide enough for most beach activities except, perhaps, for bicycling. Bikes travel best on the hard-packed portion of the beach covered by water at high tide.

Clams, mole crabs and a variety of miniature sand dwellers hide beneath the surface of our beach, �ltering sea water for sustenance and waiting to become

food for the shore birds that abundantly populate our coastal island. Sandpipers, with their fast feet and short beaks, feed on one level of the subterranean crea-tures, while the sanderling with its longer beak reaches to a layer below. Loggerhead turtles, an endangered species, come to shore during the summer months to bury their eggs in the so� sand. Late-night visits to the beach may provide a view of one of these rare animals, which weigh around 200 pounds.

When you are at the beach, please do not walk on the dunes or pull bikes across them. Dunes are remarkably fragile, and even seemingly modest wear can be the start of wind or water erosion. �ere are plenty of boardwalks and other commonly used access points that make starting a path of your own unnecessary. Similarly, please do not pick the sea oats or other beach vegetation. �ese plants are very attractive if left undisturbed, and are important to the preservation of the dunes.

Public Access�e entire beach is public, from the ocean to the high water mark. Many island beaches are easily reached by the general public. However, some access points are intended only for owners of immediately adjacent property, and for guests staying in those properties.

Shipyard BeachLimited AccessThe beach where Shipyard Plantation and the Crowne Plaza Resort have ocean frontage (see 4 on map) and im-mediately north, opposite the southern part of Palme�o Dunes, is accessible to property owners and guests staying in nearby accommodations. On Shipyard Plantation, follow Shipyard Drive all the way to its ocean end, where a substantial number of parking spaces may be found.

Palmetto Dunes ResortLimited Access�ere are numerous neighborhood beach access points north and south of the Marrio� Beach & Golf Resort (see 5 on map), which are available to Palme�o Dunes property owners and guests stay-ing in nearby accommodations. Access to these beaches is limited largely to prop-erty owners and visitors with Palme�o Dunes accommodations.

North Island Beaches Public AccessSingleton Beach, Burkes Beach, Driessen

Beach and Folly Field/Star�sh Beach (see 6, 7, 8 and 9 on map) all are accessible to the public. �e beach park at Driessen Beach is relatively new. It has 212 parking spaces, rest rooms, vending machines, etc. �ere is no parking at Singleton Beach. Burkes Beach has 13 spaces. Chaplin Park, located between Burkes Beach Road and Singleton Beach Road, has 100 spaces available for beach parking. �ere is no charge for parking at Chaplin Park. �ere is beach access.

North island beaches are broad and �anked by sand dunes. Except for the area at the entrance to Folly Field/Star�sh Beach, overcrowding normally has not been a problem. Even on major holidays, just a short walk north or south prob-ably will lead to satisfactorily few people immediately nearby. �e limited-access beaches of Palme�o Dunes Resort and Port Royal Plantation are within walking distance for those who enjoy a pleasant, leisurely stroll, although you might �nd them to be a bit far for carrying all your beach equipment.

�ere also are rest room and other public facilities, plus 52 metered spaces, in the Folly Field Beach area. Parking is

prohibited on the sides of streets where there are no meters.

Most people probably would find the Driessen Beach and Folly Field Beach (locations 8 and 9) to be the be�er of the four north island alternatives. Substantially more people traditionally have chosen the Folly Field Beach (9) than any of the other north island beaches. Note that parking at Driessen Beach Parks is reserved for holders of annual beach passes from, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Caution: Mud FlatsFinally, a word of caution. Areas in and near mud �ats and salt marsh can be very so�, with the result that an unwary walker can sink into mud that can be as much (we are told) as a couple of feet or more deep. So, please do exercise caution near salt marsh and mud �ats.

Mud �ats typically are found on the immediate coastline NOT bordering the ocean (such as on Port Royal and Calibogue Sounds), and also around some streams and inlets. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no mud �ats present near any of Hilton Head’s oceanfront beaches.
