Hilton Head Island is a joy for beach lovers, with its 12
miles of sandy coastline, perfect for sunbathing, jet
skiing, swimming, snorkeling, boating, or just plain
strolling at sundown. A drop-off and cabana with restrooms
and shower is located only 50 feet from the beach and a few
minutes from the house. Parking is near the same location.
Bring all your stuff: coolers, umbrellas, tubes, rafts,
boogie boards, frisbee, paddle ball, chairs, etc., to this
convenient drop-off spot. The kids often bike the short ride
to the beach just for fun.
The Private Beach in Palmetto Dunes always has plenty of room to find
a good spot. There are many access trails to the beach, but for
swimming, we are most comfortable with the areas around the cabana,
which is guarded most of the season. Your can rent a chair or
umbrella or bring your own. There are three-wheel low rider bikes for
rent or you can bring your own for a great ride on the hard packed
sand near the water. There's nothing like a stroll on the beach.
Don't be surprised if you see dolphins while you're swimming, and
there are many turtle nesting spots on Hilton Head Island. You can
join the many people who enjoy a late evening flashlight walk as they
wade along the water's edge. The kids can play
paddleball, have a catch in the water, or just ride the
waves. You can rent a big-wheel paddle craft or a sail boat
right on the beach. There's no need to drag the kids back
home if someone needs to use the restroom; they're located
right on the beach. The ocean front cabana has a large deck
if you prefer to keep the sand out of your shoes. If you
come for Renaissance Week between Christmas and New Year's,
you may see President Clinton or Hillary walking on the
beach. They stay just a short distance from the cabana in a
large beachfront home.
