We cruised the Broad Creek as well as the Calibogue Sound and then into Shelter Cove for the Tuesday night fire works.

Having guests from New Hampshire was the perfect treat for a Tuesday evening. Not only did we enjoy the beauty of Hilton Head Island from the water, we  also got to see to the fireworks display at Shelter Cove. The unexpected treat of the evening was the beautiful sunset topped off with the specular lightning display that was harnessed within the clouds.

Holy Cow – what a treat!

Hilton Head Island is known as the most family-friendly destination in the world. During 2008, it is estimated that over 2,100,000 people visited & vacationed on Hilton Head Island. Captivating with its spectacular scenery of towering live oaks, grassy marshes, white sandy beaches, and warm, friendly people, Hilton Head Island is truly mystical and is situated on 5,000 oceanfront acres, spanning a third of the Island. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Calibogue Sound, the island offers many breathtaking views.


Hilton Head Island offers a peaceful getaway and great resort accommodations, vacation homes, condo rentals and villa rentals, all in a charming and historical setting. Composed of four distinct neighborhoods, Hilton Head offers abundant dining, shopping, and entertainment. Hilton Head Island may only be 12 miles by 5 miles wide, but you’ll find everything you need for a perfect Island retreat. Hilton Head Island offers unlimited opportunities for great vacations and holiday memories. Hilton Head Island (#10 on Golf Digest’s list of the World’s Best Golf Resorts), is home to over 20 world-class championship golf courses designed by some of the biggest names in golf including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Arthur Hills and Pete Dye. Hilton Head Island is rich in history and culture.


In 1663, Captain William Hilton sailed from Barbados to explore lands granted by King Charles. In his travels, he identified a headland near the entrance to the Port Royal Sound. He named the island “Hilton Head” after himself. While in Hilton Head, he noticed the trees, crops, “sweet water” and “clear sweet air”.


Hilton Head Island has gone through numerous transformations over the 500 years since Europeans first set foot here — long before Hilton Head’s modern-day father Charles Fraser built the island’s first resort. For thousands of years, Indians lived peacefully on the shores of this large Carolina sea island, leaving behind few traces of their civilization other than Indian shell rings, the remnants of their circular dwelling areas.


So, this is a small glimpse of what Hilton Head Island is all about. Take a closer look before you schedule your next vacation. I’ll be posting some more information and Island picks in the future.
