It has been 2 weeks since we left Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. It was really such a relaxing and fun experience for the whole family staying there. The main reason why we ended up visiting the island in the first place because I got this deal on the internet for $99 for 4D/3N, the catch we have to attend a 90 min preview to a timeshare they will sell us, so why will I not get it right? SC is an 8 hour drive from Maryland so its wasn’t that bad and there are a lot more reasons….. So why take a family Vacation at Hilton Head Island?
SHOP THE POST:
- Family Friendly Place
When you got around the whole island. The most you will see are the happy faces of families going to the beach together, biking , eating out, going to the park, kayaking, paddle boarding and so on… I see a lot not just their immediate family but with their grandmas and grandpa’s too!
2. Hotels
As we explore the island, we noticed that it is small and the hotel are mostly walking, biking distance to the beach or the bay side to enjoy the waters. The hotel we stayed at isn’t bad but not the best either I am gonna be honest, It was 5 mins drive to the beach. The Hotel we had the preview for the Timeshare was the bomb! They have 2 properties in the island one next to the bay and one next to the beach so you have best of both worlds there.
3. Restaurants
A lot of restaurants around that are driving, biking and walking distance to each other. The 2 that we went to that we recommend are the Big Bamboo that is walking distance from the Coligny Beach and The Black Marlin Bayside Grill which is next to the bay. Both have good food and have live musics!
4. Bike Rentals
If you and your family love to bike around together like we do then this is another highlight of the trip. The island has a good bike trail that can give you a tour of the island. We only rented the bike for 4 hours just to go around and they have the carriage for And to sit. Some of our hotel neighbors rented a bike the whole stay as their means to go around.
5. The Beach
The beach is 12 mile long and has a long and beautiful shoreline. You can do a lot of things on the beach aside from swimming, playing in the sand, paddle boarding… We saw kite surfing for the first time! You can also bike on the beach, we saw some Yoga class happening too and some swim team practicing. The water was refreshing and the waves are just perfect! We mainly went to Coligny beach were they also have a small park and has beautiful free public parking which we haven’t seen being packed, We were always able to find parking!
I hope I was able to give some insights if you are thinking of going. Let me know if you have other questions and I will be happy to answer them. In case you are looking somewhere local to go here and here are some of them.
Also here are some of the outfits I wore here.
thank you so much for stopping by and have a nice weekend!
Simply,
