Hilton Head Island
The Hamptons of the South BY JENNIFER FAUCI jFauci@antonmediagroup.com
The drive to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina is met with empty highways and dozens of resorts peeking out from behind palm tree-lined streets. The scenic route is about a 45-minute drive from Savannah Airport in Georgia. Hilton Head Island is named so after Captain William Hilton, who identified a headland near the entrance to Port Royal Sound in 1663 and named it “Hilton’s Head” after himself. Located in the Lowcountry in the town of Beaufort County, the island is immensely popular during the spring and summer months for vacationing families. Known for its beautiful beaches and golf courses as well as the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and Museum, which stands proud at the southwest tip, Travel and Leisure magazine
