With beautiful sandy beaches, abundant nature to discover and plenty of outdoor activities for all ages, groups and budgets, Hilton Head Island can provide you, your family, friends and colleagues with endless year-round entertainment and fun. Nature cruises and kayak tours follow dolphins playfully swimming in the marshes and creeks; trails for walking and biking wind through the Island's majestic live oak and sea-pine forests; museums, such as the Coastal Discovery Museum of Hilton Head Island, are sure to educate and entertain while the famous candy-striped Harbour Town Lighthouse invites children and the whole entourage to venture to the top for breathtaking, panoramic views.

But perhaps the nicest place to unwind on Hilton Head Island is the beach. Lush palm-and-sea green patches of forest line beautiful stretches of sand and surf, where the Atlantic Ocean sparkles in the afternoon sun. Younger kids will love a day of building sandcastles and shell collecting, while teens and tweens will be entertained with wave runners, fishing excursions or skim-boarding with the tides. A nighttime walk along the beach is also spectacular, where the peaceful, star-studded skies and mild temperatures are the perfect nesting ground for some of the island's most precious inhabitants-baby sea turtles, which hatch annually in the soft sand.

Hilton Head Island beckons you to come away and be a part of the precious 'jewels' that await here in South Carolina's "Treasured Coast."
