Beach

Coligny Beach Park

Coligny Beach Park is the easiest way to explore Hilton Head Island’s ocean beach. And there’s more to do than swim or tan: rent a chair and relax under a sun umbrella, or ride a cruiser bicycle along the miles of beach! Then grab a drink at the Tiki Hut, which provides refreshing cocktails and live music to beachgoers at a newly renovated outdoor bar.

Dining

Lunch

Stu’s Surfside Subs

Stop for a bite to eat at this fun, laid-back sandwich shop, which boasts homemade sub rolls. Stu’s has both indoor and outdoor seating—but you can also take your sub to go, and have a picnic on the beach!

The Salty Dog Cafe

Even those from outside the Lowcountry have seen “Salty Dog” shirts in the wild—these tees have even been spotted in other countries! Not only a classic merch stop, this famous waterfront restaurant serves up seafood, tacos, burgers, and more. Explore Jake’s Pizza and Salty Dog Ice Cream right next door! 

Dinner

Charlie’s L’etoile Verte

This French bistro offers a daily hand-written menu—that’s right, it changes every day! Their focus is local seafood, so the menu revolves around what is fresh and seasonally available. Want to pair a red with your steak? Charlie’s carefully curated wine selection has won numerous awards.

Red Fish

Another favorite for fresh seafood, Red Fish’s menu puts a global twist on classic dishes. Their menu items include “Firecracker Calamari,” Chilean sea bass over udon noodles, and guava barbeque sauce. If you want to try Lowcountry seafood and have a cosmopolitan palette, this is the place for you!

Biking

Cross Island Bike Rentals is known for their attention to bike maintenance and customer service. Just down the road from Coligny Plaza, they have bikes for every outing: choose from electric bikes, geared bikes, or beach cruisers!

One of the lesser known trails is the Historic Pathways Map! This route is scenic and rewarding!

Shopping

Coligny Plaza

Coligny Plaza is Hilton Head Island’s outdoor mall. Aside from a variety of fantastic restaurants, this shopping center has a lot to choose from. Browse surf shops, novelty gift stores, and more! You can even get tickets to see a play or musical— Seaglass Stage Company recently opened inside Coligny Theatre, a small venue showing local productions!
