The limited size of the island means it’s easy to get from Hilton Head hotels to the area’s many attractions by foot or bike. Follow the more than 6 miles of paved trails through shaded forests and safely along roadsides; or for an adventure, pack a picnic and ride along the beach during low tide. While there, you can search for shells to create your own unique souvenir, or wash the sand from your feet and head to the Mall at Shelter Cove. For other nearby shopping, check out Coligny Plaza for popular local stores like Island Girl, Tee Hut and The Bird’s Nest.
This tiny island is also home to a rich culture, and annual festivals make it easy to learn more and have fun. If you book your hotel in Hilton Head during February, then be sure to join in the Native Islander Gullah Celebration. May’s BRAVO Arts & Cultural Festival isn’t to be missed, and regardless of the time, you can always visit the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.
