Review & FAQ:
Hilton Head Island, located off the coast of the state of South Carolina, can be found just past the state line of Georgia. At a little over 280 miles from the city of Atlanta, Hilton Head Island is a good choice for people looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. Hilton Head Island is a popular resort destination with several private gated developments, however, the beach itself is public, with nine public beach accesses available. The island is spread out more than other islands nearby, meaning visitors may need to use their car to get around. Hilton Head Island Map
