Welcome to Hilton Head Island

This lovely island isn’t exactly what you might think of when imagining an island since it’s only separated by a thin river, disconnecting it from the mainland. However, all the typical lush and tropical features that you might have also pictured are there. The dense, green, and purposefully untouched swathes of land serve to accentuate the island’s picturesque natural beauty.
 
Hilton Head endorses an active lifestyle as the island is host to a league of outdoorsy activities, all at the ends of its residents’ fingertips. There are the brisk jogs along the beaches, relaxed hikes through the more heavily forested areas, and the always-popular, relaxing boat ride down the coastline. The island’s inhabitants have a variety of activities to choose from, each taking advantage of a different aspect of the great outdoors.
 
The good times and the resort-style living wouldn’t be possible without the history that helped transform this island into a paradise. The town itself, from an official standpoint, is still extremely young as it was only incorporated in 1983, so you can enjoy helping to shape this growing town. Despite its age, the island is still brimming with stories to tell, and the quaint museums dotted around the island, like the Gullah Museum, can help paint you a picture of a fascinating time that came before.
