Whether you’re exploring the outdoors, grabbing a bite, or making new friends, this part of Hilton Head is a dream spot for families and pups alike.
Here are five can’t-miss ways to spend the day together.
1. Wander the Sea Pines Forest Preserve
Leash up and hit the trails!
The Sea Pines Forest Preserve covers over 600 acres of natural beauty, from lakes and boardwalks to quiet paths shaded by mossy oaks. It’s the perfect place for you and your dog to stretch your legs, snap some photos, and soak in the peaceful side of Sea Pines.
Get ready for an adventure on the trails with some wagging tails.
2. Enjoy Dog-Friendly Beach Time
Few things beat sandy paws and salty breezes. And if you’re in Hilton Head, there’s no shortage of beaches to take your fam and furry pals to.
Dogs are welcome on Hilton Head’s beaches year-round, with certain time rules during summer. Head out early in the morning or later in the evening, and you’ll both love the freedom of a seaside stroll or a splash in the waves.
3. Grab a Bite at Pet-Friendly Restaurants
Sea Pines is dotted with spots that welcome pups on their patios. Favorites include the Harbour Town Bakery, where you can enjoy a coffee while your pup enjoys the sunshine.
Craving some savory samplers? The Quarterdeck’s lower deck offers unbeatable waterfront views for both you and your pawed pals. It’s the perfect place to share a meal outdoors.
4. Stop by Lawton Stables
Located right in Sea Pines, Lawton Stables is home to horses, a small animal farm, and trails perfect for exploring.
Dogs are welcome to join you on the grounds, making it a fun family stop where kids can meet ponies and goats while the four-legged family member takes in the new sights and smells.
5. Make Friends at Hounds on the Harbour
Are you planning a getaway sometime in October? You won’t want to miss Hounds on the Harbour.
Hounds on the Harbour is Sea Pines’ annual celebration of pets — a community event filled with contests, treats, and meet-and-greets.
Besides being among the island’s fun festivities, it’s the perfect chance for your pup to socialize while you mingle with fellow dog lovers.
And even if you visit outside the event, Harbour Town’s open spaces and pet-friendly patios are always worth a stop.
