About Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island is a 12-mile barrier island of about 38,000 known for its wide beaches, resort communities, and world-class golf. The island is built around planned plantations with strict tree-cover rules, so even commercial areas feel wooded; Coligny Beach Park, Harbour Town, and Shelter Cove are the main hubs. Housing runs from villas and condos to luxury golf-course homes, and the whole island is bikeable on 60+ miles of paths.
