Island
The South Coast island resort of Hilton Head Island has Atlantic beaches, rows and rows of condos and, most importantly, world-famous golfing.
Measuring 12 miles long and 5 miles wide (19 by 8 kilometers), the eco-friendly island is surrounded by low-lying tidal creeks and marshes.
Aside from golf, there’s plenty to do at Hilton Head Island, especially if you have a cultural bent. The Arts Center presents performing arts, the Coastal Discovery Museum runs tours and cruises, the orchestra and symphony societies host concerts, and a gamut of annual events include celebrity golf tournaments, cook-offs and parades.
Wildlife to spot on the island includes bottlenose dolphins, egrets, turtles and alligators.

Great family vacation place something for everybody
Review by 'Stephanie W, July 2012
If you are a golfer, you will love it. There are some beaches, and 1 putt putt place, but this is a stuffy resort town for the well to do. There are some great deals to be had in the outlets in Bluffton, a neighboring town.
