Hilton Head Beaches

Hilton Head Island offers over 12 miles of beautiful beaches. Our beaches are easily accessible from any of our accommodations and are the perfect setting for long walks, bike riding, kite flying, beachcombing & building sandcastles.

Our beaches are home to a variety of wildlife including starfish, sand dollars, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs and whelks. These creatures make up an important part of our eco-system and we hope you and your family enjoy discovering them along our beaches.

Just offshore you will want to keep your eye out for the bottlenose dolphins that swim up and down our coastline each day. Manatees can also be spotted in our waters during the summer months.

The Loggerhead Sea Turtle comes ashore from May through October to nest on our lovely beaches. These turtles are a threatened species and are federally protected. Their nests of eggs, once laid in the sand are marked and monitered, so please enjoy but do not disturb these special sites
