Visiting Hilton Head
The opposite of its rowdy neighbor Myrtle Beach, easygoing Hilton Head is tough to beat in two departments: nature and golf. Picture sprawling oak trees draped in Spanish moss and dolphins arching gracefully out of the sea. This barrier island off the South Carolina coast has 12 miles of stellar Atlantic coastline, plus a bevy of nature preserves, rookeries, and lagoons. And golfers can tee up at over two dozen championship courses, several of which are public.
