Hilton
Head Island holds a special place in the hearts of vacationers
around the world. Located off the southernmost point of South
Carolina and warmed year-round by the Gulf Stream, Hilton Head's
forty-two square miles are home to more than 350 species of native
American birds in addition to loggerhead turtles, wildboar, and
bobcats. Here you will find beautiful Hilton Head hotels and some
40 area golf courses including some of the most spectacular scenery
in the sport. Designed by some the best names in the business,
Hilton Head offers courses by such prominent architects as Pete
Dye, Robert Trent Jones, George Fazio, and Arthur Hill, and by
world famous golf-pros turned designers, like Jack Nicklaus, Gary
Player, and Fuzzy Zoeller!
More than 300 shops are sprinkled from one end of the Island to
the other, clustered in intimate plazas and quaint marinas. Some
200 restaurants offer a little taste of everything, from French,
and continental cuisine, Caribbean, Greek, Asian and Mexican,
to All-American favorites like pit-cooked barbecue, char-broiled
steaks and Southern-style home cooking. And as a barrier island,
Hilton Head offers a generous sampling of local seafood: succulent
shrimp, sweet blue crab, and briny oysters! |
