Hilton Head Island, Coastal resort island in South Carolina, US.
The island encompasses 69 square miles of land and water, featuring 12 miles of Atlantic beaches and numerous golf courses along the shoreline.
Captain William Hilton discovered the headland near Port Royal Sound in 1663, leading to European settlement and development of sea island cotton trade.
The island holds the heritage of Gullah people, descendants of freed slaves who maintain distinct traditions through language, crafts, and community practices.
Visitors can access beaches through public entry points, with peak season occurring between June and August when temperatures reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Land Management Ordinance requires preservation of natural trees during construction, creating neighborhoods where buildings blend with forest canopy.
