When is the best time to visit Hilton Head?

My parents are moving to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and we’d like to visit them soon and help them get the lay of the land in their new home. What’s the best time to visit?

The best time to visit Hilton Head,
South Carolina
is from April through May or September through October. These shoulder seasons are when crowds are lower and hotel and restaurant prices are cheaper. Also, the weather is still beach-friendly, with temperatures ranging from the 70s through the 80s during the day.
Hilton Head is an outdoors paradise, with gorgeous beaches, charming shops and restaurants, and plenty of outdoor activities to take advantage of.
If you want beaches, check out:
  • Folly Field Beach—friendly to families and has lifeguards on duty during busy times
  • Burkus Beach—great for cycling
  • Fish Haul Creek—perfectly quiet
  • Mitchelville Beach—an ideal spot for couples
If you and your parents want to be one with nature, check out the incredible Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge. It spans 4,000 acres and is home to a vast array of wildlife, including deer, alligators, armadillos, and birds of all sorts. You can hike, bike, and take guided tours through Pinckney Island.
Another thrill to check out in Hilton Head? Dolphin watching—the Hilton Head Island Dolphin Watching Nature Cruises bring you out onto the water to see these amazing mammals in their element, as well as an incredible array of birdlife and amazing sights of other landmarks, including Hair Point Lighthouse.
