Hilton Head Island has been named America's Favorite Island by Condé Nast Traveler readers, outranking the likes of Maui, Mackinac Island, and more! Travelers especially love Coligny Beach and the opportunities for family fun on the Island. Of course, the beautiful scenery is just a given! Let's take a brief virtual tour of some of our favorite Hilton Head Island scenery you can enjoy on a weekend getaway and our recommendation for one of the best resorts in Hilton Head Island, S.C. you can stay at while visiting.
One of the most iconic scenes from Hilton Head Island is the red and white striped lighthouse found at Harbour Town in Sea Pines Resort. There's an entry fee that must be paid by those who are not residents or guests staying at the resort.
Another beautiful spot in Hilton Head Island is found at Shelter Cove Community Park, a gathering spot with frequent shows & festivals, as well as a green space for sports and fitness activities.
Take the Vanishing Island™ Expedition Tour with Island Explorer Dolphin and Nature Tours for this scene of patterns in the sand on Vanishing Island, which is a sandbar located off the southern tip of Hilton Head Island in the Calibogue Sound that can only be visited at low tide (and not recommended to attempt to navigate the shallow waters in a rental boat or without extensive local knowledge).
You could even spot a manatee on the tour as has happened in the past! Manatees are a pretty rare sight in South Carolina, with only about 50, or 1% of the overall population believed to migrate to the lowcountry waters of the state each summer.
A stay at the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort offers its own scenery, with views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beach.
This four-star resort offers rooms or suites with elegant décor, mini-kitchens with microwaves and mini-refrigerators, granite countertops and separate dining areas, as well as private balconies.
At the resort, you can enjoy golfing on one of three championship courses, playing pickleball or tennis, exploring an 11-mile lagoon system, relaxing treatments at the spa, or a delicious meal at any of the five dining outlets.
If you'd like to venture out for a meal or two, you'll find an unexpected nature scene in the Painted Desert Soup at Santa Fe Cafe.
You can end each day of your vacation with this breathtaking sunset scene ...
... and a little warmth by the fire with your family or friends around a firepit at the resort!
