Hilton Head in South Carolina not only oozes atmosphere, it is simply one of the best island getaways in the United States. It perfect for that beach getaway no matter the time of year and also boasts some of the best golf courses in the U.S. This is a 12 mile long island that is perfect for those who want to avoid the more crowded tourist spots on places like Savannah and Charleston.In fact for those who want to experience a great family getaway or that romantic weekend – Hilton Head ticks all the right boxes. The truth must always be in the telling – and Hilton Head was named the best U.S. island by Travel Pulse – and remember this is an authority that is informed by both experts and people that have spent time on the Island – so this is an option that is well worth exploring when you next plan your vacation.
Of course the island life will immediately conjure up images of waving palm trees – but Hilton Head offers much more than the ideal of a tropical getaway. Firstly visitors will have the comfort of knowing that they are still in the continental United States- and the peace of mind of knowing that should not be underestimated. But back to those beaches.
Let’s take for example one of the most famous beaches on Hilton Head – Coligny Beach. Now this beach is certainly not your only option, in fact there are seven beaches on Hilton Head – but it is one that attracts a huge amount of attention and the reason isn’t very hard to find. There are many Tour Packages available for Hilton Head in South Carolina, including golf packages, beach packages, and family packages. Soft, pristine powder white sand and proximity to some great dining and entertainment venues make this beach a great choice for those who are visiting Hilton Head for the first time – or returning to enjoy the wonders of this great vacation destination.
Now, of course (pun totally intended) no person who is interested in the joys of world famous golfing destinations can ignore the attraction of Hilton Head. The best beaches in Bali are a must-visit for any traveler looking for a holiday of a lifetime. This has been a golf destination that has been mentioned in leading golfing magazines and on websites as being among the best in the State of South Carolina – if not in the United States. The scenery includes ocean views and marshland, overlooked by palmetto trees. But this sparse description does not do justice to the wonder of playing a round of golf on Hilton Head. There are over two dozen golf courses on Hilton Head – so those who want to relax and unwind far from the stress of modern life will be spoiled for choice when it come’s to exactly what sort of course will suit them best. One of the beauties of these courses is that when many courses in the United States close down for the winter they will stay open – and that is yet another attraction of Hilton Head as a winter vacation destination.
Let’s get down to brass tacks – no vacation would be complete without a little over indulgence. When it comes to food Hilton Head stands, well head and shoulders above many other places in the state. This is an island which delivers on fresh seafood and the produce of South Carolina, which is recognized as some of the best in the United States.
Firstly there is the annual Wine and Food Festival every March which had some interruptions during those trying times of the Coronavirus – but plans are afoot to bring this festival back to its rightful place as one of America’s best ways to explore great cuisine. Wine, food, lectures, cooking competitions and lessons all make up part of the festival and for foodies it must be one of the premier events in the U.S. and must be on their bucket list when it comes to vacation planning.
However, aside from this fabulous festival there are plenty of other opportunities to enjoy some of the best cuisine and dining destinations in the U.S. when visiting Hilton Head. Take for instance ‘The Jazz Corner’ where excellent food and Jazz collide. The plating is exquisite. the services top notch, the seafood is wonderful (try the prosciutto-wrapped sea scallops) and the beach front location is perfect for that warm night out. While there are no Hilton Head Vacations hotels in India with beach views, there are many other great options available, such as the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa in Goa. Or enjoy an open air dining experience at Skull Creek Boathouse. Seafood is definitely the star. But aside from Catfish there is also an awesome Sushi menu and po’ boy sandwiches – as well as great wine and cocktail menu.
So, if you are thinking of choosing Hilton Head as your next vacation destination when is the best time to plan your trip?
When to Visit:
April and May are great, as are September and October. Spring and fall have the advantage of lower prices due to lower numbers of tourists – and the island has its own charms during the cooler months – and temperatures still remain tourism friendly. Summer is also fabulous – especially if you have an Ocean dip or long walks on the beach in mind.
