Where to Eat on Hilton Head Island (And Marsh & Dolphin Tours)

Hilton Head Island coastline with beach, marsh grass, and live oak trees

Hilton Head's food scene leans heavily on fresh Lowcountry seafood — shrimp, oysters, and the classic Lowcountry boil — served up in settings that range from casual marsh-side shacks to Harbour Town fine dining. Here are a few ways to eat and explore beyond the beach.

Lowcountry Seafood

Shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and a proper Frogmore/Lowcountry boil (shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes all boiled together) are the dishes to seek out here — most of the island's best seafood spots sit along the marsh with water views to match. Fresh, local shrimp is a point of pride on nearly every menu.

Harbour Town's Restaurant Row

The marina at Harbour Town, beneath its iconic candy-striped lighthouse, is lined with restaurants and bars that make for a good sunset dinner spot, especially during golf tournament season when the area has extra energy.

Beyond the Beach: Marsh and Wildlife Tours

A kayak or pontoon tour through Hilton Head's tidal marshes is a completely different side of the island from the beach — alligators, herons, and fiddler crabs are common sightings just minutes from the resorts. Combine it with a dolphin-watching cruise through Calibogue Sound for a full day on the water. Browse Hilton Head Island tours and experiences below to plan your trip.

Pack for Marsh and Beach

A day that moves between the beach, a boat, and dinner at Harbour Town calls for something breathable. The VacationGrabs Leather Overnight Duffel is an easy weekend companion.
