Beachwalk Cottage joined the Beachside HHI family in August of 2020. As an older beach home, Beachwalk Cottage brought along classic Sea Pines charm. The best part of this home is no doubt: the beach access. Located right next to a beach path as a second-row home, the location is phenomenal. Let’s get down to the issues though. As charming as Beachwalk Cottage was, it was in desperate need of an update. Finally, in March of 2023, Beachwalk Cottage began its amazing transformation.
. 
The primary step in the transformation was to declutter the living spaces and rooms. Everything was removed from the walls, shelves were taken down, and furniture was taken out. 
Once we had a “blank slate,” it was clear that we were in desperate need of paint.
. 
Next, Chelsea’s Painting was brought in to transform the entire interior of the home. Chelsea’s went above and beyond by covering all of the furniture, sanding all the walls, caulking all the wood paneling, and painting away. Walls, trim and doors were painted from bottom to top. The walls transformed from a yellow hue to beautiful modern white. They even painted the fireplace mantle white. Once the walls were cleaned and brightened the living room fireplace was now the showpiece it was always meant to be.
Afterwards, with white walls, all of the electrical panels in the house needed upgrading. Every fan was replaced to provide more overhead lighting. Best of all: the chandeliers! A modern chandelier was hung over the staircase accompanied by a modern sconce. A beautiful, beaded chandelier was hung over the dining room table that really transformed the space. We couldn’t stop with the interior, so all new exterior lighting was hung as well. To finish off the electrical, all new TVs were brought in. 65″ TVs with Rokus were hung in the upstairs and downstairs living rooms. 43″ TVs with Rokus were brought into every bedroom.
. 
. 
Next, once the house was painted and electrical was updated – the furniture started rolling in. It was decided to have all 4 bedrooms transformed to kings and a brand-new sleeper sofa in the downstairs living room. Therefore, the house still sleeps 10 guests comfortably. Afterwards, new living room furniture, dining table, and downstairs living room furniture were brought in. 2 new beds were added and all new bedding in all 4 bedrooms were added. Since the house was decluttered, it was easy to go back through and add minimal art and decor, blending the old with the new.
. 
. 
. 
Once the living room and bedrooms were done, it was clear the kitchen needed some help. Next, we called in Sir Grout of the Lowcountry to paint and clean all of the tile in the foyer and kitchen. Secondly, we brought in Southeast Countertops to get new quartz countertops. And finally, we called Chelsea’s Painting again to paint the kitchen cabinets. Costco was called for a new refrigerator and dishwasher.
. 
. 
Lastly, one remaining room was in desperate need of attention: the screened in porch. The entire porch was rebuilt with new screens and a second railing for safety. Furniture and lighting were updated as well, of course. If you haven’t seen an entire deck built on the second story of a house before, I must say it’s pretty incredible!
. 
. 
Lastly, we couldn’t finish our project without updating the landscaping as well. We brought in C&C Landscaping – the right guys for the job! The large bush that covered the front of the house was removed. Finally, you can see the beauty of…the new deck! Concrete was removed and pavers were placed with grass in between to create a beautiful front patio. New drainage was added so there is no more rain run off onto the front patio. Ultimately, the most fun project for us personally was filling in the planter box by the pool with tropical plants to really tie the entire project together. The front porch was complete with hanging plants, planters by the front door and finally, a custom “Beachwalk Cottage” sign over the front door.
. 
How long did this project take you ask? 3 weeks. Yes, you heard that right. 3 weeks and we completely transformed Beachwalk Cottage! In conclusion, I’ll let the photos do the talkin’. Rent Beachwalk Cottage for your next stay in Hilton Head today.
Sea Pines Forest Preserve is a beautiful place for nature lovers to visit. It’s a free destination that’s open year-round from sunrise to sunset and offers an impeccable view of vast landscapes.
Located in Hilton Head, the Sea Pines Forest Preserve spans over 600 acres and is considered the largest area of unhttps://www.beachsidehhi.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AdobeStock_58746038-scaled-1-scaled-1.webpeloped land on the island.

Aside from its lush greenery, one of the most popular features of this protected forest is the Sea Pines Shell Ring. This is an archeological site that dates back almost 4,000 years. This ring was built almost at the same time as the pyramids were! Isn’t that amazing?
At this historical site, visitors can find thousands of oysters, clams, and mussels. As impressive as this is, that’s not the only incredible fact about this place. Many archeologists also believe that this site was used by early Native Americans as a dedicated space for rituals, meetings, and other congregate activities. If anyone is interested in a glimpse of the past, taking a trip to the Sea Pines Shell Ring is a definite must-do!
Another fun fact about this preserve is that it houses over 200 species of birds. Because of this, it’s been recognized by the National Audubon Society as an “Important Bird Area.” While visitors can find a colorful array of these feathered creatures, one of the most sought-after species is the eagle.
People look far and wide just to spot these majestic creatures. They have the best chance of seeing them in the Sea Pines Forest Preserve! Oftentimes, these beautiful birds are perched on the power line towers. Otherwise, they can be spotted during nature boat rides.
There are a hundred more fun and interesting facts about this place, but rather than reading about it, see it for yourself! Sea Pines Forest Preserve is perfect for families, solo travelers, and nature enthusiasts yearning to learn more about nature. Book a vacation to this beautiful location today!
When visitors take a much-needed vacation to Sea Pines Forest Preserve, they can do so much more than lay back and enjoy the view. Below are some of the best activities to experience in the forest.
For all outdoor adventurers out there, the Sea Pines Forest Preserve has two wonderful hiking trails that wind through the preserve’s natural habitat. Each of them is marked with a different color and leads to a different destination, but both are great opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the forest and get good exercise.
Although hiking is a great way to immerse in nature, another option is to take a guided tour via horseback. With this, guests will experience the wonders of the forest from a higher vantage point.
Depending on what tour type, prices can range from around $15 to $200.
After hiking and touring the preserve, everyone should stop by Fish Island for a picnic, located just at the center of the forest. Here, visitors have immaculate views of the lakes and can surround themselves with nature while enjoying their meals.
Finally, the must-visit place in Sea Pines Forest Preserve is the Warner W. Plahs Wildflower Preserve, which gives visitors a one-of-a-kind blooming spectacle — especially during springtime.
From March to June, people can witness the fresh blooms of beautiful and vibrant wildflowers. They can take lots of photos and create long-lasting memories with friends, family, or loved ones.

As America’s Favorite Island, Hilton Head is the ultimate retreat destination for families and solo tourists alike. It offers 12 miles of pristine beaches, world-class resorts, and impressive water sports that everyone can enjoy.
One of the best marinas on Hilton Head Island is Shelter Cove Harbour. It’s located directly across from the entrance of the Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort and provides guests with grandiose access to the vast waters surrounding the island.
Shelter Cove is a peaceful, quiet, and relaxing destination that aims to engage, entertain, and help visitors unwind. Whether it be a quick weekend getaway or a long week vacation, taking a moment of pause in Shelter Cove Harbour is the best decision anyone can make to refresh and revitalize their senses.
Shelter Cove was built in 1983 and is now considered one of the largest deep-water yacht basins in Hilton Head. It became famous immediately as a water sports destination, but soon after, it became well-known for Harbourfest.
From its water sports culture to its traditional festivals, there’s no doubt that the Shelter Cove community on Hilton Head Island loves to have fun. That’s why on top of the usual attractions at this marina, visitors can also enjoy live nightly entertainment, weekly summer fireworks displays, quaint boutiques, and local dining.
Shelter Cove is exceptionally welcoming of tourists and the community makes sure to give every visitor something to look forward to.
Here are some of the top attractions to do and see when going on a vacation to this pristine island.
According to Fishing Booker, Shelter Cove ranked in the top 10 of the best summer fishing destinations in the country in 2022. It continually surprises visitors with the different kinds of seasonal fish available in the marina, and that’s not all. It’s also beginner-friendly!
Even those with no fishing experience will enjoy the chance to fish at Shelter Cove and try their luck. They’ll be surprised at what new fish will cross their path.
Shelter Cove Harbour is the ultimate spot for fishing, and it’s one experience that tourists wouldn’t want to miss. While the best time to fish is during the summer, anyone has a high chance of catching all sorts of fish all year round. From sea bass, sheep’s head, black drum, sharks, cobia, redfish, trout, and king mackerel during the spring to barracuda, tarpon, and Spanish mackerel in the fall, there’s a wide variety of fish species to discover in the waters of the Shelter Cove marina.
To make the experience worth it, it’s best to rent fishing charters with experienced fishers to guide every visitor in their fishing journey. Because as fun as fishing is, it should also be safe. With the help of experts, guests can rest assured that they can make the most of this spectacular opportunity.
Besides fish, dolphins are another type of sea creature worth seeing while at Hilton Head Island. They’re majestic creatures that leave every sight-seer in awe, and there are a number of ways to get up close and personal with these water mammals.
One way to see these beautiful creatures is to go on a Native Son Tiki Boat Dolphin Tour. Tours are available all year round and offer a private and personalized trip for families and groups of up to six passengers. On this tour, all guests can enjoy sightseeing in the comfort and safety of a custom-built Tiki boat. Because of the personalized experience, they can bring their own snacks, music, cocktails, and so on to make the experience even more memorable. Plus, if they want to add other fine touches, they can contact Captain Byron for special additions.
Another option that’s available from June to August is an attraction known as Dolphin Seafari: Dolphin and Fireworks Tour. The experience lasts two hours and concludes with a banging fireworks finale. Due to its popularity, this tour is best reserved in advance.
If anyone is looking for more active attractions, they can enjoy a wide range of water activities, including, swimming and diving. They can also participate in water sports like kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating.
Besides these high-energy activities, guests can also enjoy a relaxing cruise down the Harbour. Some examples of cruises and private boat rentals are the Captain Hook Party Fishing Boat, Captain Mark’s Dolphin Cruise, and the Crabber J II. These adventure cruises offer exhilarating entertainment for the whole family to enjoy during a much-needed vacation.
What better way to celebrate the town’s love of water than by putting up a magnificent statue of none other than the Roman god of the sea, King Neptune?
This statue was designed and installed by sculptor Wayne Edwards; it depicts Neptune holding a trident in the center of Shelter Cove Harbour.
While it may seem like a straightforward statue for most passersby, it hides an interesting detail. This impressive work of art also doubles as a sundial. When the shadow of the trident falls beyond the statue base (which spans over 26 feet wide), the numbers will indicate the precise time. Because of its size and magnitude, it’s even considered one of the world’s biggest figurative sundials.
That’s not all. The sculpture is strategically placed in such a way that it aligns the Ursa Major constellation with the North Star.
Knowing this little tidbit of information, who wouldn’t want to check out this famed sculpture? Tourists and locals frequently visit the statue to admire it and take pictures.
If guests want a glimpse of the modern world and enjoy some real-world conveniences away from the waters, they can head over to the Shelter Cove Towne Centre, which won the 2020 TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice.
Here, families can visit numerous boutiques and dine in some of the well-loved restaurants. It’s a great place to spend the day if tourists just want to pamper themselves and splurge on some items.
Other shopping destinations in the area include Southern Tide Signature Store, which is the first and only store on Hilton Head Island to offer men’s, women’s, and kids’ apparel and accessories. It’s owned and operated by the resort across Shelter Cove — Palmetto Dunes Resort — and exudes a laid-back lifestyle and coastal charm.
Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina is likewise another great option for year-round shopping, dining, and entertainment. Much like the Southern Tide Signature Store, this shopping area has a laid-back ambiance, but with a more Mediterranean-village flair. Here, families and friends can explore some of the best shops, waterfront activities, and restaurants.
At its very heart, Shelter Cove is a community that brings people together. As such, one of the best things any visitor can do in the city is to participate in the community’s upcoming events.
In April, there will be a music and taste festival on the Harbour, a community market, a sidewalk sale, and a series of dinner parties anyone can join! There will be more events in the following months where tourists can meet new people, engage in fun activities, and immerse themselves in the culture of the city.
With summer just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to plan a trip to Shelter Cove to experience the Harbour’s signature summer event: HarbourFest.

Spending a weekend in Hilton Head is a great idea because the climate is generally pleasant all year round, with mild winters and warm summers.
Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect in each season.
Don’t let the word “winter” scare you off because Hilton Head Island’s chilly weather remains relatively warm compared to other parts of the country.
Temperatures typically range from the mid-50s to the low 60s, with occasional cooler days. This makes it a perfect time to enjoy golfing and hiking without having to deal with the scorching summer heat.

Fall is just right with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to the low 80s. By this time, the crowds thin out, making the island’s stunning fall foliage ten times more enjoyable. Be prepared for occasional rainstorms, particularly during hurricane season from June to November.
No matter what time of year you choose to visit, make sure to pack your essentials.
By the way, Hilton Head Island has an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, so you’re sure to have plenty of opportunities to soak up the sun.
Hilton Head Island gets plenty of sunshine, so be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen with a high SPF too! Don’t forget to reapply throughout the day, especially if you’ll be spending time in the water.
Protect your face and head from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat. It’s also a stylish accessory that can complete your beach outfit.
Protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays with a good pair of sunglasses. Polarized lenses are especially helpful for reducing glare off the water.
Always stay hydrated in the summer heat. We suggest bringing a refillable water bottle to the beach. Some beaches on Hilton Head Island have water fountains, so you can refill your bottle without having to buy plastic water bottles.
Keep your feet cool and sand-free with a comfortable pair of sandals or flip-flops. Look for waterproof options that won’t wear out in the water.
The summer heat can be intense, so pack light, breathable clothing made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. The best items are shorts, tank tops, and sundresses.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Hilton Head’s jellyfish population! These captivating creatures are an integral part of the island’s marine ecosystem. From the graceful sea nettles to the quirky cannonballs, the jellyfish species are as diverse as they are fascinating.
In this blog, Beachside Hilton Head will introduce you to the world of Hilton Head’s jellyfish and provide you with everything you need to know to safely navigate their waters during your vacation.
Get ready to discover the wonders of the two most abundant jellyfish species and learn how to make the most of your beach experience in Hilton Head.
The sea nettle jellyfish is a common species that can be found around Hilton Head Island. These jellyfish have bell-shaped bodies that can grow a few inches to several feet in diameter, depending on their age. The body can have a brown to reddish-orange coloration, with a distinctive crisscross pattern on the upper surface of the bell.
Sea nettle jellyfish can be spotted around May through October, with peak populations occurring in August and September. They congregate in large groups or “blooms,” which can make swimming in the waters more challenging.
The cannonball jellyfish, also known as the cabbage head jellyfish, is a common species in the waters of Hilton Head Island. These jellyfish have a distinctive round, “cannonball-like” shape with a smooth, gelatinous surface, typically light brown or yellowish color. Similarly, it can range in size from a few inches to over a foot in diameter.
Cannonball jellyfish commonly appear from June through September, with peak populations occurring in July and August. They also come in large groups or “blooms,” which can make swimming a little harder, but their non-stinging tentacles make them much less of a threat.
The sea nettle jellyfish has long, trailing tentacles with stinging cells called nematocysts that stretch up to several feet in length. The sting can cause a burning or stinging sensation, as well as redness, swelling, and even blistering.
If you do get stung by a sea nettle jellyfish, get out of the water as soon as possible. Seek medical attention if the sting is really bad. Try rinsing the area with vinegar or salt water to neutralize the venom. Apply a hot compress to help alleviate the pain.
The cannonball jellyfish, on the other hand, has short, non-stinging tentacles. They feed mainly on plankton and small fish and are considered harmless to humans.
If you encounter a cannonball jellyfish while swimming, it’s best to simply avoid them or swim around them. However, there is no need to worry about getting stung.
These beautiful creatures are a vital part of Hilton Head’s underwater life, but they can also painfully sting unsuspecting swimmers.
Remember to always be cautious, keep an eye out for warning signs, and follow the safety information brought by Beachside Hilton Head. Go ahead and take the plunge, but stay safe and sting-free!

We all love South Carolina — the sun, the sand, and of course… gators! However, as much as we want to enjoy them from afar, it’s important for visitors of Hilton Head to be aware of the risks posed by alligators in our neck of the woods. Read on to find safety tips provided by your friends at Beachside Hilton Head Island.
Alligators are most active between dusk and dawn. This means they are likely to move during the night, so it’s important to stay vigilant and watch your step if you’re walking around during these hours.
Gators may also be more active after heavy rains when they search for higher ground and can come across paths, yards, or even homes. Gators are most likely to be found near water sources such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and creeks.
During the night, if you ever are near these bodies of water, watch out for their eyes. Gator eyes will glow in the dark, so you might spot them from a distance. You can see them by using a flashlight if walking around in the dark.
In some cases where gators feel threatened, they display aggressive behavior. Gators can become aggressive when provoked so it’s important to remember these safety tips:
Hilton Head has a lot to offer when it comes to activities, nightlife, and fun, but there’s one more thing you have to watch out for while visiting — alligators! As long as you stay vigilant, keep your distance, and follow safety precautions, then you’ll be sure to enjoy your time here in Hilton Head without any unwanted run-ins with gators.

Hilton Head Island, situated off the coast of South Carolina, is a popular beach destination for locals and tourists alike. With 12 long miles of pristine beaches, visitors can do everything from swimming to fishing to kayaking. Golf is a big attraction on Hilton Head Island, but it’s the beaches that keep people coming back.
Thanks to Hilton Head Island’s gorgeous weather, the beach season lasts a while — from April 1 until September 30.
The landscape looks like one big white sand beach on Hilton Head because the beaches are connected. During low tide, you can ride a bike and explore all the island has to offer. Check out some of Hilton Head Island’s best beaches for every kind of vacation.
Coligny Beach is so far Hilton Head’s largest and most popular beach. This award-winning beach park located at the end of Pope Avenue boasts the most parking and accessibility. For first-timers, Coligny Beach is the showcase beach and an introduction to all South Carolina beaches up and down the coast.
As kids walk to the beach, they can have fun in the park’s splash fountain. While there isn’t a typical pier here, there is a short boardwalk that connects the parking areas to the beach as well as restrooms where you can get ready for the day. There are also swings and gazebos with lounge chairs.
Coligny Plaza, which is just across from the beach, has a variety of dining options, a movie theater, and shops. The best way to cool off after a hot day in the sun is to grab dessert at places like Island Fudge Shops and Frozen Moo Ice Cream. As if that weren’t enough, tourists can also rent equipment for biking, rollerblading, fishing, and engaging in other water sports.
Beachgoers can pick up beach chairs, coolers, sand toys and other stuff at Coligny True Value Hardware. Coligny is also a short walking distance to the 10-acre Lowcountry Celebration Park. The beach is also home to a kid-friendly replica of Captain William Hilton’s historic ship, which brought him to Hilton Head Island centuries ago.
A favorite local beach is Driessen Beach, also known as Bradley Beach, because it has lots of parking and isn’t too crowded. With its charm and location, Driessen draws visitors and locals alike.
There are several amenities provided at this beach park, and children can be entertained on its playgrounds. For simple access to the beach, a long boardwalk winds through a natural setting over a salt marsh.
Beach matting is also present to make it easier for those who use wheelchairs or have other disabilities to move around on the sand. Even grills and pavilions are readily accessible for the ultimate beach picnic.
Beachgoers who don’t want to grill but love freshly cooked food and cold drinks can visit oceanfront walk-up restaurants, which serve burgers and drinks.
Yet, a word of advice from the locals: it takes a while to get to the beach. Consider taking a wagon if there is a need to transport a lot of beach gear. It is also advisable to bring shoes to protect your feet on the boardwalk and shell areas.
Folly Field Beach Park sits along the northern half of Hilton Head Island and is located in a primarily residential neighborhood. The public beach has plenty of room to spread out. The sand is fine, clean and enchanting, and the sunrise view is worth getting up for.
The park is accessible via Starfish Drive, a charming neighborhood close to the oceanfront that seems to have clusters of beach houses which blend in perfectly with the lush, green environment.
There are no skateboards, bikes, or rollerblades allowed at Folly Field Beach in Hilton Head. Guests can find showers, umbrella rentals, and perhaps even casual beach volleyball and flag football matches. Restrooms, outdoor showers, water stations, and a lifeguard station are additional amenities. Lastly, a ramp is provided for strollers and handicap access.
All amenities are a first come, first served system, so visitors should plan carefully. It’s a good idea to be there early or stay late to better enjoy a leisurely stroll down the shoreline with only a few other beachgoers in the area.
After a long day of fun and games, vacationers may also visit Shelter Cove, a magnificent outdoor shopping complex close by. Wayback Burgers, Poseidon, and Tio’s American Kitchen are just a few of the numerous restaurants that can whet your appetite.
Hilton Head locals tend to keep Islanders Beach a well-kept secret. This is where tourists can experience a typical local atmosphere and observe residents spending time with their families and pets. There are grills for cooking fresh catch and a picnic pavilion for relaxing by the water for the afternoon.
Parking, however, is by permit only with some metered spaces, so it’s recommended to ride a bike directly to the beach.
The playground at Islanders Beach Park is excellent for children who can’t swim or don’t want to. It’s also fantastic because it frees kids from being limited to resort activities that aren’t as kid-friendly.
One thing here that people don’t typically find at other beaches is their toy lending bin. Guests can get free books from a birdhouse-shaped stand with a sign that says “Take me to the sea.” This works very much like the toy lending system in that it asks the borrower to provide a replacement book for every book they take out to read.
A dog-friendly beach, Alder Lane Beach is a great place for a quiet getaway from the typical beach scene, since it’s much less crowded than nearby beaches. This beach is set next to the Marriott Grande Ocean Resort, off South Forest Beach Drive.
During the official beach season, pets are allowed on the beachfront, provided they must always be on a leash or under positive voice control at all times. Owners are required to properly dispose of pet excrement as well.
Beach mats stretch down near the water, so it’s accessible to everyone. There are 22 metered parking spaces, outdoor showers, and restrooms.
The beach is also famous for its excellent fishing opportunities and the presence of dolphins swimming in the waters. Alder Lane Beach is a delightful place to spend a day having fun in the sun and unwind.
On Hilton Head Island, Palmetto Dunes is undoubtedly one of the finest beaches to be found, located on the northern section of the east oceanfront.
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort boasts a world-class golf experience and an 11-mile lagoon system with countless opportunities for outdoor adventures, such as kayaking, fishing, and tennis.
Palmetto Dunes also offers Harbourfest during the summer, which includes arts and crafts, live music, and a stunning fireworks display over the marina every Tuesday night. Harbourfest is held seasonally at Shelter Cove Marina on Broad Creek, and there are plenty of exquisite restaurants and stores in Palmetto Dunes, on both the oceanfront and the creekside.
There’s also “The Dunes Buggy,” which runs at the busiest times of the year. This ride stops at The Dunes House, Shelter Cove Harbour, Shelter Cove Towne, Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, and The Plaza.
Singleton Beach continues to have a wide spread of sand during high tide. Positioned at the island’s center, Singleton Beach is perfect for families interested in experiencing the wonders of Hilton Head Island right out their front door. Both the Chaplin Park and Shelter Cove Town Center are at your fingertips. And, for those who love dogs, Singleton Beach has Hilton Head’s top dog-friendly park.
This beach is a cool hangout spot where beachgoers can relax and admire the scenery unfolding, revealing colorful corals, pelicans, loggerhead sea turtles, snowy egrets, bald eagles, and dolphins.
From May to October, South Carolina’s sea turtle nesting season, visitors have the chance to see hundreds of turtle nests on the beach or baby hatchlings making their way to the sea.
The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa provides a full-service oceanfront experience without having to worry about crowded areas and limited parking spaces. This abundance of parking space is thanks to its convenient location at the back of Port Royal Plantation
At the resort, guests will find a variety of inspired amenities, including private beach access, three swimming pools, and four restaurants. After a refreshing swim, they can paddleboard or kayak in the Atlantic Ocean.
Kids can play in the Westin Family Kids Club while their parents relax at the Heavenly Spa by Westin™.
Only Westin hotel guests and beach club members have access to the exclusive beach. There are more private spaces to spread out in an opulent private cabana with a chilled cocktail due to its exclusive access.
Fish Haul Beach is possibly one of the island’s best-kept secrets and is tucked away in Bay Gall, a historic Gullah neighbor on Hilton Head Island. Because it isn’t essentially a swimming beach, Fish Haul Creek Park isn’t popular among tourists. And that’s why it’s so unique. Visitors won’t find beach chairs and umbrellas along the shoreline.
This beach is ideal for individuals looking for a peaceful getaway. They can walk around, watch birds, and relax since it overlooks Port Royal Sound.
Fish Haul Beach Park’s name already gives away the main attraction, but visitors can also enjoy crabbing and shell-collecting, and there is a ton of free parking available at this park.
This place also has a lot of alligator warnings, which is a stark reminder that the surrounding area is still largely swampland.
Burke’s Beach has possibly the easiest access of all the northeastern beaches in Hilton Head, South Carolina, with metered parking, seasonal lifeguards, outdoor showers, and a pleasant trail to the water. Visitors can enjoy different activities like paddle boarding, fishing, and kayaking.
This beach attracts visitors with a serene atmosphere as there are no residential properties on it. Flying kites and surfers can also be seen in the landscape.
Nearby is the Sea Salts Beverage Company, where one can take a load off with a tasty rum punch.
A stunning beachfront community located along the southern tip of Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head Island is South Beach.
As opposed to Downtown, South Beach offers a quieter stretch of oceanfront that has fantastic views of Daufuskie and Tybee Islands.
Public beach access is available along Sea Pines Drive between Belted Kingfisher and Painted Bunting Road. Even though the beach is mainly used by people who live in the South Beach villas and other homes on the block.
It takes only ten minutes to reach Harbour Town after a long day spent at South Beach. A central meeting place and beacon, the Harbour Town Lighthouse nearby served as the foundation for this town’s community.
The extensive island history during pivotal eras in American history is preserved inside the lighthouse.
Even though beachfront homes and resort projects have sprung up all over Hilton Head, environmental and aesthetic standards still allow only five stories for all structures. The pristine starry night skies and quiet, small-town life are guaranteed for visitors. Thanks goes to to island regulations and restrictions on light and motorized water sports for the clear skies.
The beaches of Hilton Head continue to provide a relaxing getaway from the daily grind. Given the miles of pristine white sand, the clear waters, and the breathtaking surroundings, it’s not surprising that so many people travel to this coastal paradise every year.
Whether searching for a tranquil location or an exhilarating adventure, there is something for everyone at these beaches. Come explore these Hilton Head Beaches and discover for yourself everything it has to offer.
Hilton Head is not just about miles of beautiful beaches. Parks and playgrounds are also popular places for visitors with kids. If you need a change of scenery during your vacation, Hilton Head Island’s best parks and playgrounds will not disappoint. Check out Beachside Hilton Head’s favorite spots to play.
The Greg Russell Harbour Town Playground is one of the most visited parks on the island. It was named after a famous musician who performed for decades under the Liberty Oak.
The park features a nature-packed environment and a tree house constructed around the oak tree. Kids will have a grand time enjoying different play equipment, including swings and slides, while feeling the comfort of soft sand under their feet.
If the waves are too intimidating for the kids, a day in Coligny Beach Park Fountain solves the problem. The award-winning, oceanfront park features a dancing fountain where kids can splash around. Put on your swimsuits, pack a few snacks, and head over for some fun in the sun in the safety of the park.
Only moments from Coligny Beach Park, Celebration Park is another famous park on the island. It is a large park featuring scenic nature views and lots of fun activities. Unlike Coligny Beach Park — which has quick access to the beach — Lowcountry Celebration Park focuses on being the venue for discovering Hilton Head’s culture and environment.
This 10-acre park houses numerous play and entertainment facilities such as The Adventure Playground, The Perimeter Walk, the Open Pavilion, and fitness centers.
Located between Singleton Beach Road and Burkes Beach Road, Chaplin Community Park is the largest park on the island. It is the perfect spot for kids and adults (and even dogs) with its wide range of play and fitness facilities.
Visiting Chaplin Community Park gives families access to picnic pavilions, basketball courts, tennis complex, hiking trails, and playgrounds. When the group suddenly wants to cool off, they can simply take the pathways to the beach.
This 53-acre park is another adventure-packed place for the whole family. Jarvis Creek Park excites its visitors with its different features, including wooden bridges, a large lake, workout stations, picnic shelters, and open fields.
Jarvis Creek Park also serves the PRO Wellness Project, which aims to promote a healthy lifestyle among the residents and tourists. This project is open to everyone and gives participants access to cross-training equipment.

With its pristine beaches, lush forests, rich culture, and unspoiled marshlands, Daufuskie is indeed a nature lover’s paradise in Hilton Head.
Upon arrival, you may notice that cars are a rare sight. This is because Daufuskie Island has no bridge or causeway connecting it to the mainland.
As a result, most people who live on the island get around using golf carts, bicycles, or walking.
These forms of transportation are not only more practical for the island’s narrow roads and dirt paths, but it also contributes to the island’s natural beauty and ecological health, as there is less pollution and noise than in other more urbanized areas.

Try their Spiced Rum, which is infused with a blend of spices and herbs, including vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger.
Most of Daufuskie is inhabited. Ultimately, there are only over 400 people on this island.
One of the most well-known abandoned sites is the Mary Fields School, which was once a vital part of the African American community on Daufuskie Island during the early 20th century.
However, in the 1960s, the school was closed due to desegregation and declining enrollment. Over the years, the building fell into disrepair and became abandoned.
Evidently, the Mary Fields School stands as a reminder of the island’s past and the challenges faced by the African American community.
Other abandoned neighborhoods on Daufuskie Island have faced similar challenges, such as economic decline and environmental factors.
Moreover, efforts are underway to preserve and revitalize these historic sites and ensure that they remain an important part of the island’s history and culture.
Finally, Daufuskie Island offers visitors a peaceful and natural environment. With its stunning beaches, historic sites, and delicious dining options, it’s no wonder why this island has become a popular vacation spot.
The next time you’re in the Hilton Head area staying with Beachside Hilton Head, be sure to take a day trip to Daufuskie Island and experience the rawness of nature!

Hilton Head Island is home to several species of sea turtles. You may spot different turtle species during your vacation like the loggerhead turtles, green turtles, and occasionally, Kemp’s Ridley and hawksbill turtles.
These turtles nest on the beaches of Hilton Head from May to October, and it’s truly an incredible sight to witness. However, sea turtles are an endangered species, and their populations are under threat from climate change, human activity, and habitat loss.
In this blog, Beachside Hilton Head will tackle some ways to protect these beautiful species.
To protect these magnificent creatures, there are rules and guidelines that visitors and locals must follow during the sea turtle nesting season in Hilton Head. Here are the rules to follow.
Stay away from marked or unmarked turtle nests when walking on the beach. Be sure not to disturb or touch the eggs, and do not block the hatchlings’ path to the ocean.
Flashlights and flash photography can disorient nesting turtles and hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean and increasing the risk of predation.
Furniture, tents, and other personal belongings can block turtle nesting paths creating obstacles for hatchlings trying to reach the ocean.
Litter can harm turtles and other wildlife. Some of our trash can be ingested by mature sea turtles causing them to choke and suffocate. Make sure to always throw your trash where it belongs.
Sea turtles are protected species, and it’s illegal to touch or disturb them in any way. This includes taking pictures with them or trying to get too close for a better look.
Fortunately, there are many ways that we can help protect these endangered animals and ensure that they continue to thrive for generations to come. Let’s discuss measures that help preserve Hilton Head sea turtles.
Organizations like Sea Turtle Patrol work to monitor nesting activity, protect nests from predators, and educate the public about the importance of sea turtle conservation. You can support these organizations by volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness.
Litter can harm turtles and other wildlife, and it can also create obstacles for nesting turtles and hatchlings. By participating in beach cleanups, you can help remove litter from the beach and prevent it from harming sea turtles and other marine animals.
As we’ve mentioned above, sea turtles are an endangered species, and their survival depends on our actions. That’s why it’s crucial to strictly adhere to the rules during the nesting season.
You can help reduce the impact of human activities that harm sea turtles by choosing eco-friendly practices such as using reusable bags, avoiding single-use plastics, and using energy-efficient appliances.
Sea turtles are a big part of the marine ecosystem, and their species maintain the health and balance of our oceans. As visitors to Hilton Head, we have a responsibility to protect these amazing creatures and their habitats. Together, we can make a difference and help preserve the natural beauty and diversity of our planet.

Anyone having a vacation on Hilton Head Island would probably think of seafood as their first choice. That’s completely valid as there’s a ton of seafood available on the island. However, when you’re over the hype and want other options, Italian entrees on the island make a great substitute. Sure, you can’t agree until you try. Here are Beachside Hilton Head’s favorite Italian restaurants in Hilton Head, so you can try them out.
Nunzio is a newer place, but their cooking tells a different story. It is one of the most popular spots for both tourists and locals thanks to its line of contemporary South Carolina favorites, great wine selections, and traditional Italian cooking.
Dining at Nunzio not only lets guests enjoy the harmony between distinct flavors but the welcoming upscale ambiance as well — all thanks to the restaurant’s chefs (and owners).
The establishment is popular for its mussels marinara, veal scallopini, and stuffed shells, but everyone loves their profiteroles for dessert. They’re definitely a must-try!
Combining rustic elegance with authentic Italian cooking and smooth-textured wines, Ombra Cucina Rustica has been a long-time favorite for locals. This award-winning restaurant and bar is also gaining popularity among tourists for their classic Italian food and modern, regional dishes.
Fresh local ingredients and their passion for serving good food have always been the key to their best sellers, like their chicken with wild mushrooms, fried calamari, and sausage broccoli rabe. Guests who come by for happy hour (4:30 PM to 6:30 PM) will enjoy a 20% discount on their wines and spirits as well as a free pizzetta.
Pomodori Italian Eatery takes comfort food to the next level with its Southern Italian dishes inspired by classic Calabrian favorites. Tourists who are craving both seafood and Italian dishes have come to the right place at Pomodori’s.

As Linda & Jay began gardening, their daughters, Ellie and Sophie, couldn’t help but enjoy Timeless Treasure at it’s best. The girls hit the ha
mmock overlooking the ocean to enjoy a calm nap in the sun.
After some relaxing time, they couldn’t resist taking a dip in the pool! The large step provides the perfect space for little Sophie to hang out safely while still enjoying the water. The pool is the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon as a family.

For families with rowdy kids and pets in tow or large groups of friends, booking a hotel room isn’t always the best idea. More space is always key when traveling with children, pets, or a big group.
This is what makes short-term rental homes so appealing. There’s a room for everyone, a lot of space to run around, and — more often than not — a more affordable price than a hotel!
Cotton Cottage at Hilton Head offers exactly that — and much, much more on your next vacation. You can book Cotton Cottage right from Beachside Hilton Head Island.
Cotton Cottage is a two-story home with a cozy charm. This newly renovated cottage sits along a quiet cul-de-sac on Cotton Lane. The fresh, white interiors and the blue and wood theme gives the cottage a beachy vibe that fits the island perfectly.

Guests won’t be left wanting for anything — whether it’s high-speed WIFI and a smart TV to keep techy teens happy, a washer and dryer for those on an extended stay, or a high-chair and pack and play for families with babies. For those on a “workation,” the cottage has a laptop-friendly workspace to fulfill your needs.
The cottage also has a fully equipped kitchen for the chef of the family. They even have two coffee options for the caffeine-inclined: a 12-cup drip coffee maker and a Keurig machine.
One of the best things about Cotton Cottage is its convenient location. Guests can easily get to popular attractions like the beach or the Sea Pines Forest Preserve — both of which are less than a mile away. For parents on vacation with their kids, Lawton Stables is only a mile away.
Other nearby or easily accessible destinations include Harbour Town Lighthouse, Harbour Town Marina, South Beach Marina, and the Sea Pines Beach Club.
The white sand beaches at Sea Pines are beautiful but not exactly private. The pool at Cotton Cottage is the perfect alternative for couples or friends who don’t want any interruptions. Since the pool is heated, late-night dips or cool weather aren’t issues.
Best of all, the Cotton Cottage also has an outdoor gas grill and a full set of barbeque utensils — perfect of a Fourth of July cookout by the pool on vacation!
When it comes to a well-earned vacation with family or friends, nothing quite beats renting out an entire house for yourselves and living like a local.

Jay was born in Connecticut not far from the water. With a passion for fishing and eating shellfish, he always imagined he’d end up near the coast for the long term. Jay started his own tech company, Handy Networks, while in high school which led him to Denver, Colorado in 2007. Jay grew Handy Networks into a managed services company with 1,000’s of customers worldwide. With global relationships, Jay prided himself on the level of customer service and creative solutions in technology they provided to their customers. In 2011 Jay began to foster his two sons, Simon and Adrian who were 10 and 8 at the time. Years after adoption, he continues to support youth in foster care by participating on the board of a program called Raise the Future.
Linda and Jay got married in the summer of 2015 with Jay’s son’s Simon and Adrian by their side. In 2016 they gave birth to their daughter Ellie and in 2019, their daughter Sophie. They loved their life and their businesses in Denver until COVID hit. Living in the city during COVID was completely https://www.beachsidehhi.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AdobeStock_58746038-scaled-1-scaled-1.webpastating as their extended family was all in their happy place: Hilton Head Island. By May of 2020 Linda and Jay made their way out to the island for “a few weeks.” They basically never made it back to Denver again! Early July of 2020, Linda & Jay moved their family of 6 into a ranch in the heart of Sea Pines. Instantly falling in love with life on the island and life in Sea Pines itself, they knew they had made the best decision for their family.
Jay sold Handy Networks in the fall of 2022 as Linda was wrapping up My Make Studio. The duo knew there had to be a new adventure in store for them next. Finally, when Linda and Jay met Stephanie and Todd and learned about Beachside Hilton Head Island, their fate was sealed.
Linda knew she could use her customer service experience to provide a welcoming experience for guests while building a strong and trusting relationship with the homeowners. Jay knew he could use all of his technology experience to optimize business on the backend. Jay proves to be extremely handy and enjoys that his calendar is no longer filled with business meetings and is now open to provide day to day care for each house. Turns out that pool heaters are quite similar to the heating and cooling systems of data centers. Who knew? Living in Sea Pines, Linda and Jay have a strong passion to care for each house in the program because, well, it’s their neighborhood too!
Look out for the new owners of Beachside Hilton Head Island, Linda and Jay, around Sea Pines as they grab dinner at the Quarterdeck with their sons or take their daughters to the Beach Club to play in the sand. If you’re looking for a vacation getaway in Hilton Head, they look forward to hosting you. If you’re looking to rent your house in Sea Pines out for short term vacation rentals, they look forward to caring for your home.
