There
is so much information to share about the wonderful activities
to be found on Hilton Head Island. In this section, I've provided
links to the best sources for this information. All information
can be conveniently downloaded or printed directly from your
screen.
Hilton Head Island
is the second largest barrier island on the east coast and is protected
by an offshore sandbar. This protection makes for a small gently
rolling surf. Additionally, there is a tidal difference of eight
feet which at low tide gives the more than 12 miles of Hilton Head
Island beach a width greater than 600 feet. With such a broad beach
there is plenty of room for sunning, sculpturing, shelling, strolling,
running, fishing, biking, and swimming. From mid April through October
the Ocean temperature is above 70 degrees and is ideal for many
water activities.
