Hilton Head Island, located in South Carolina, was named after Captain William Hilton, who discovered the island back in 1663. Since then, Hilton Head
has enjoyed a rich history that lives on today alongside the attractions that make it an ideal vacation spot.
With 12 miles of beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, it's not hard to see why locals and tourists love Hilton Head. Breathtaking coastal views can be truly appreciated
firsthand from the Costal Museum's cruise tour of the coast and the barrier islands off shore. After enjoying the islands from the water, check out the
museum for many family-friendly activities.
Visitors can also participate in one of the city's many annual events, including holiday parades, Gullah Celebration,
and HarbourFest, which features crafts and live entertainment from area artists. The rich island culture can be found virtually everywhere on the Hilton Head,
including the restaurants and shops.
With no shortage of historical pride and plenty of activities to keep you occupied, your stay in Hilton
Head is sure to be a busy one. Mix some local culture into your vacation activities for a one-of-a-kind trip.
