Hilton Head Island Beaches
Hilton Head Island has one of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast. Enjoy 12 miles of wide, flat beach while you sunbathe, enjoy a good book, play volleyball, fly a kite, walk, jog, or ride your bike on the hard-packed sand. Enjoy swimming in the ocean, riding the waves on your boogie board or skimboard. Access the beach from the beach club in the gated community you are staying in or from one of nine public access points on the island.
