Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Since 1983, Spinnaker Resorts has been helping families realize their vacation dreams on Hilton Head, one of America’s most enchanting resort destinations. The island is a preserved area that provides a wide variety of vacation pleasures.

The ivory beaches, fertile salt marshes, azaleas, magnolias, palmetto trees, resident alligators and egrets provide a unique backdrop for championship golf courses (over 45 courses), top tennis facilities (over 300 courts), yacht harbors, and fine dining. Hilton Head is a golf, tennis, fishing and boating mecca. There are a multitude of cruise options - Intercoastal, Historic, Sunset, Eco or Dolphin. You can spot dolphins from above, while cruising Calibogue Sound; or if you’re energetic, swim alongside them off the beach for an experience you'll never forget.

There are fun Hilton Head vacation activities for everyone to enjoy. You can relax on the beach, jump in the surf, or meander barefoot along miles of sandy shore gazing at sailboats out on the water. Go for a bike ride and admire the natural beauty of the low country as refreshing sea breezes wash over you. Or, enjoy a day of shopping capped with a delicious fresh seafood meal and a stroll on one of our beautiful moonlit beaches. Hilton Head Island is the perfect location for a romantic getaway or a family retreat. For history and architecture buffs, Beaufort & Charleston South Carolina and Savannah Georgia are close by. Learn about the heritage of the south and experience the charm of its historic homes and buildings.

The Atlantic Ocean provides the ultimate playground in the spring, summer and fall. Choose between the tranquil sounds of your sail puffing in the wind, or the purr of your jet ski engine as you dodge between dolphins. Stretch your legs on over 20 miles of bike paths that meander through preserved low country forest.
