About Hilton Head Attractions & Activities

Hilton Head's legendary golf courses and beautiful beaches are the island's most popular attractions. Attracting numerous spectators every spring, the PGA's Verizon Heritage Tournament is held at Harbour Town Golf Links, and throughout the year resort guests enjoy playing on its famous fairways. Beach-goers find the island's wide shore ideal for walking and soaking up sun, and kids love building sand castles and splashing in the surf. When they're not golfing or playing on the beach, visitors usually take advantage of the island's well-maintained bicycle paths. Harbour Town's marina's famous red and white-striped lighthouse is likely Hilton Head's most-visited landmark. Guided tours, from horse rides to dolphin cruises, allow you to view the island from different perspectives. To enjoy scenery that's off the beaten path, sign up at Lawton Stables for a horseback tour of local wildlife. -- Elizabeth Baxley, 10Best Editor
