Hilton Head Island trades the high-rise beach town formula for a quieter, more laid-back version of the Lowcountry — twelve miles of wide Atlantic beach, live-oak-shaded bike paths, and a coastline better known for golf and marsh views than nightlife. It's one of the most relaxed beach destinations on the East Coast.
Top Things to Do in Hilton Head Island
The island's beaches — Coligny Beach in particular — are famously flat and hard-packed, making them some of the best biking and running beaches on the Atlantic coast. Hilton Head has over 60 miles of dedicated bike paths connecting neighborhoods, marshes, and beach accesses, and renting a bike is one of the best ways to see the island.
Harbour Town, with its red-and-white-striped lighthouse, is the island's most photographed spot and home to shops, restaurants, and views over the marina where the RBC Heritage golf tournament tees off each spring. For wildlife, a dolphin-watching or sunset cruise through Calibogue Sound is a near-guaranteed way to spot bottlenose dolphins feeding along the shoreline.
What to Pack for Hilton Head Island
Beach days, bike rides, and marsh-side dinners call for something breathable and easy to carry. The VacationGrabs Leather Sling Bag is ideal for a day moving between the beach and Harbour Town, and the VacationGrabs Leather Overnight Duffel is a great size for a Lowcountry long weekend.
