A Hilton Head Vacation

Every year many people decide to take a vacation to get away from it all while still enjoying amenities and conveniences usually reserved for major cities. Hilton Head Island is the perfect spot for a vacation, offering beautiful beaches, salt marshes, lagoons and more. Even while enjoying the island's natural beauty, activities, restaurants and shopping are all available within a short walk or drive. The island is renowned as a Mecca for golf enthusiasts, tennis buffs, and restaurant connoisseurs alike. In addition to the many restaurants and shops unique to the island, many chain stores and restaurants also have locations on the island, adding city convenience to the island's unique charm.

As a coastal resort island, Hilton Head Island offers vacationers beautiful beaches and spectacular ocean views. Anyone going on a vacation can look forward to 12 miles of beaches, with widths of up to 600 feet when the tide is low. Many hotels and resorts enjoy beachfront locations, offering guests ocean views and easy access to the beach.

Every year many people go on a Hilton Head vacation and completely ignore the beach. Instead they go to enjoy the island's impressive golf courses and tennis courts, many of which are ranked nationally by leading golf and tennis magazines. The famous Harbour Town Golf Links course hosts the annual Verizon Heritage Classic and is open to the public to play-and this is only one of many impressive golf courses on the island. The island's tennis scene includes nationally ranked tennis courts including the Sea Pines Racquet Club-ranked number 2 in the nation. With all these impressive offerings, it is no surprise that many people come to the island for vacations specifically for the golf and tennis.

The island is also well-known for its many restaurants, well over 200 on the island itself. Hilton Head vacationers can look forward to a full range of dining experiences, from steaks and seafood to international offerings, including Italian, Greek, French, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese food. It is possible to base an entire Hilton Head vacation just on trying different restaurants and then recovering on the beach until the next meal. Among the many outstanding restaurants are Michael Anthony's Cucina Italiana, The Studio, Alligator Grille, the Salty Dog Café, the Crazy Crab, Robert Irvine's eat!, Redfish, and many, many more.
