Discover an Island Like No Other.

Soft ocean breezes begin the day on Beaufort County, coaxing you onto the pristine sands. Seawaves play on the seashore as ocean birds duck among them. This is where you've come to relax, to be warmed by the sun's blissful rays.

Renowned as one of the world's most family-friendly destinations, Beaufort County offers unlimited opportunities for holiday memories and was recently named one of the top ten family beaches in the country. As an intimate getaway for two or an idyllic backdrop for a family reunion, the Island extends a variety of outdoor and indoor recreational activities.

You'll notice that there's something different about Hilton Head the moment you arrive. By design, there is a sensitive nod to the environment that has become the blueprint for other developments around the nation. Buildings are set back from the main roads, showcasing the native pines and oaks. Colors are not flamboyant and bright; instead, they are subdued and blend with the natural environment. And bright streetlights here are as rare as snowstorms. There's plenty of green wherever you go, and strict development guidelines ensure that the only thing between your eyes and a breathtaking view are your sunglasses.

There is a relaxed and warm island attitude in the air, one that whispers "Welcome to Beaufort County."
