| Fancy houses on Hilton Head from the ICS |
Except for our first trip, when we stayed at the Outdoor Resorts for one night, we've gone from Beaufort to Thunderbolt on each trip on the ICW. So in 2005, we stopped by Hilton Head for a week when we were traveling by car. The main Hilton Head activities at this time of year (winter) are biking, tennis, and golf. None of those were of interest to us, but I wanted to see something of the island other than what we saw at the marina. |

Hilton Head has been inhabited as early as 10,000 B.C. It got its name when in 1663, it was surveyed by William Hilton, an English sea captain, sailing from Barbados. Hilton claimed it for the British crown, and named it for himself .. Hilton's Headland. |

Being in the dark on Hilton Head Island is my version of Hell! With macula degeneration I can't see in low light. l will never go there again. 2 nights on foot & car trying to find 1 simple restaurant on Pope down the street from the Holiday Inn. | MUPPETinMA Mon Jul 30, 2007 23:08 UTC
I grew up there and can tell you that pick-up trucks are certainly allowed, as are gardens. And there are reasons for the plantations. As a resident of an island with over 3 million visitors annually, it's nice to not have strangers in your back yard. | jasonslawn4 Sun Feb 18, 2007 16:00 UTC
