 Reasons For All Seasons
O utstanding accommodations, great restaurants,
value driven & stylish shopping, a different golf
course for every day of your visit, enough tennis part-
ners (if you didn’t bring your own), hundreds of tennis
courts, great sailing, fishing & days of play on and in
the water, a plethora of spas to keep you relaxed.
Hilton Head Island has become a year-round vacation
choice. More corporations, associations and groups are
taking advantage of the wide variety of activities for
families this time of year as well as other seasons. While
you're here, ask about group rates & attractive off-
season rates for your next visit. You’ll be impressed
with the professional & helpful staff to help make your
next meeting the best one yet.
Did you miss the golden arches usually seen
silhouetted against the sky or dozens of neon signs
flashing “Welcome”as you drove onto the island? Not in
this town!! Even the Red Roof Inn doesn’t have a bright
red roof on Hilton Head (they did manage to get the
Town to approve a muted red roof)! Our business com-
munity conforms to very strict building codes & signage
(very few neon lights) that protects the beauty and
integrity of the original plan of development for the
Island. If you have been to Hilton Head Island before,
you’ll be surprised to see lots of new development and
new shops on Hwy 278 from Sun City coming toward
Hilton Head. Exit 8 off I-95 has made it much easier
to approach the island directly, and the milemarkers
on Island as well as the Cross Island Expressway (toll)
around the island directly to the Sea Pines Circle, are
very helpful as well. (Don’t speed.)
Hilton Head offers different opportunities
each season of the year. There’s always a full calendar
if you want to stay busy; or you may elect to lay back,
relax and enjoy the tranquility our plantation environ-
ment provides. Just a few reasons to visit in even anoth-
er season, consider the following tournaments, events &
seasonal pleasures and this is just the beginning...........
MAY/JUNE May is one of the most beautiful months.
Yacht Hop at Harbour Town for Hospice in May, Rib
Burnoff in Shelter Cove Community Park. BRAVO: a
monthlong celebration of the arts continues. Harbourfest
begins in June. Stingray Basketball Camp is in June
and July.
JULY/AUGUST 4th of July Celebrations! Water sports,
beach fun, kayaking, sailing, warm ocean waters &

 Since Your Last Visit
S hould you arrive early, and can’t check into your villa or
hotel until 4:00 pm, take a few minutes to look through
“Where and When” and the “Calendar”. Take a walk on the
beach. If you’re hungry, enjoy a sandwich or hors d'oeu-
vres, maybe a cool drink. Begin unwinding even before you
unpack your bags. Use the coupons!!!
SEE WHERE AND WHEN CALENDAR Concerts, plays.
Enjoy the clean, fresh air. You’ll be glad you chose this
time of the year to come to Hilton Head. You can take your
dog to the beach again (until Memorial Day, then its after
5pm.) islanders get out and enjoy lunches & early dining,
then stay to play late at some of the clubs. So much to do
in May. And you’ll love the beach.
BEACH MARKET Its not the most opportune time to begin
improvements in the Coligny Circle/Beach Market area; but
don’t let that stop you from finding Funky Beach Surf &
Streetware and Hinchey’s. Your children will want to get
their hair braided (you might too) and get a tattoo (don’t
worry, they’re not permanent, so let them play). Next stop
Hinchey’s for GREAT hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, and
entertainment at night.
BIG BAMBOO Coligny Plaza oceanside.If you arrive early for
check in, Big Bamboo is a great stop for the family. Enjoy
some great family food, plus live Jimmy Buffet music
beginning at 1pm on Saturday. (Lunch actually starts at
11:30. They’re all ready to help you begin your vacation on
Hilton Head. (The perfect send off to go back home after a
great week on the Island.) And think of The Big Bamboo any
day of the week for lunch (they are closed on Sunday).
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SCAVENGER HUNT with a
GPS (global positioning system). After being briefed on
how to use the technology and given coordinates for the
first hunt location, you use the GPS to search for special
spots on the Island. A great way to discover Hilton Head.
Call Outside Hilton Head 1-800-686-6996 to ‘play’ today.
Make it a family experience. You’ll have a good time.
ISLAND WINERY 12A Cardinal Rd (look for the blue
awnings) is the ONLY winery on Hilton Head that makes
& bottles their wines on Hilton Head. Reasonably priced.
Made from grapes from fine vineyards in Chile, Italy &
Calif. Stop by anytime between 12:30-5:30pm Mon thru
Sat. Wine Tasting Happy Hour is every Mon thru Thurs
beginning at 4pm ($15). Take home souvenir bottles of
their speciality wines. Have yours autographed. And now,
Experience Wine Flights Mon thru Sat 12:30-2:30. $7 per
flight. Relax and enjoy a flight of wine with your compli-
mentary cheese tray. 843-842-3141
THE FRESH MARKET in The Fresh Market Shoppes con-
tinues to deliver the freshest vegetables, the finest cuts of
meat and a beautiful selection of fine wines and made to
order salads and entrees from their deli. The cheeses are
unique and there is always someone at the counter to help
you make the perfect choice for your spur of the moment
party or for late night snacks. Residents from nearby towns
and cities make a special visit to The Fresh Market for those
hard to find and speciality items you don’t find everywhere.
(You’ll be the ‘hostess with the mostest’ (and you don’t have to
tell them you had it totally prepared at The Fresh Market.)
Pick up some fresh flowers, an orchid or potted plant to
brighten your day, your villa or room or a love gift.
BISTRO MEZZALUNA RESTAURANT TAPAS & WINE
BAR has changed their name to reflect the wonderful
new menu of tapas as well as their outstanding wine list.

menu, I can promise you, you’ll always have some to take
home for a midnight snack or lunch the next day. Locals
know ‘where to go’. Stop in on Wed 6-9pm. Teri Reni-
Powers, one of the most loved musicians on the island per-
forms & Target entertains on Friday nights. 843-842-5011

overused muscles feel so much better. Hours at the com-
puter leave you with tense muscles that a hot stone mas-
sage does wonders for. When you make your appointment,
don’t be afraid to tell your masseuse the type of massage
you like. Some like a gentle, relaxing massage, others pre-
fer a deep therapeutic type of treatment. The best one for
you is the one that makes so glad you gave up an hour or
so of your day. Golfers, tennis players, runners, pianists,
computer gurus, we all need some special care. Or that
little catch in your shoulder.......Start today to take bet-
ter care of yourself.

 The List of Things I Should Not Miss
FREE (OR ALMOST FREE
“Today I will commit one random act of senseless kindness”
HECK OUT TIDE CHART and go for a long walk on
C our beautiful beaches, (better yet, ride your bike). You’ll
pass several beautiful hotels, oceanfront homes, & enjoy
the soft breezes you came here for. Tides fluctuate as
much as seven feet. Plan ahead & leave your towels & pic-
nic supplies far enough back so they won’t get soaked or
washed away. (The tide chart is in the Nautical Notes sec-
tion. Or refer to the Table of Contents.)
T AKE AN EARLY MORNING WALK ON THE BEACH
or a bike ride. Enjoy coffee at one of the oceanfront
hotels or take your coffee with you. (Check the tide chart in
the Nautical section to see how much beach you’ll have for
walking. High tide is not the best time.) But only because the
water comes up almost to the dunes, and there’s no point
getting your tennis shoes wet. And remember: NO GLASS
ON THE BEACH! This is strictly enforced. But it will NOT
BE FREE!
GREGG RUSSELL performs May 22 thru 24 and May
27 thru 29 under the Liberty Oak in Harbour Town.

speed limit changes dramatically before or after you cross.
Believe me, it will not be free!!!!Those tickets, really make for
a bad day!!!Have some change for the toll booth. They “take
names” (actually license plate numbers) if you speed through
and don’t pay the toll. We want you to have fun and not take
home bad memories or points on your license. Courtesy usu-
ally prevails, but just in case, give the guy that’s in such a
hurry all the room he needs. You’ll arrive about the same time
he does, but without the stress (or a ticket).(And you’ll have
extra money in your pocket to spend on food and fun.)

 History of the Island
ilton Head Island is a product of many cultures, backgrounds
H and personalities. Influences from the American Indian,
African American, Spanish, French and British peoples are
reflected in the names of places, plantations, and other parts of
Hilton Head Island. We’ve highlighted a few and you’ll discover
more via the tours available.
The Indian Shell Ring in the Sea Pines Forest
Preserve dates back to 1450 B.C. Listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, this mound
of oyster shells, animal bones & clay provides a
visible monument to the prolific oyster beds and
to the Indians who made them one of their
staples.
In 1521, the Spanish left their mark on the
Island. Cordillo Parkway now bears the name of
the Spaniard who discovered the harbor to Port
Royal about the same time St. Augustine, Florida
was founded. In 1562, Admiral Coligny sent Jean
Ribaut to lead French Huguenots in a search of
religious freedom and although France and
Spain fought over the harbor for many years,
Spain was eventually given the land in a treaty by the Roman
Catholic Pope.
By 1663, England, made her bid for a place in the new world.
Sir William Hilton, aboard the good ship “Adventure,” sighted
tall pines as he searched for the entrance to Port Royal. Marking
the spot on his map, sailors referred to this point as “Hilton Head.”
Hilton’s glowing report of the fertile soil and ideal growing
conditions on the island promoted British colonization.
1698 saw the establishment of large plantations as a result of
barony land grants. In 1717, the agent for those original developers
sold the land along Skull Creek. The real estate agent called the
Island “Trench’s Island.” Settlers established large plantations.
Indigo was the major crop on Hilton Head Island from the 1740’s
until the Revolutionary War. The entire plant was soaked in water
(and with the addition of crushed oyster shells, produced a blue dye
valued for its vibrancy and intensity of color.)
Across the “toe” of Trench’s Island was “Dawfoskee”.Is has been
accepted by most historians that Daufuskie (present spelling) got
its name from the Yemassee Indian word that means “land with a
point”, (referring to its shape which resembles a pointed feather).
The pictured “D’Awfoskee“ chart was published in 1776. The
American Revolution fostered a need by the British military for
charts and maps of America. Daufuskie (present spelling) Islanders
(Tories), supported Britain in the Revolution, while Hilton Head
Islanders supported the Colonists.
The Civil War was one of the busiest times on the island. Nearly
30,000 Union troops were stationed on Hilton Head after the “Battle of
Port Royal Sound” on Nov 7, 1861. Fort Mitchel, built in 1862, and
named for Gen. Ormsby Mitchel, who commanded the Union soldiers
on Hilton Head in 1862, was part of the defense for the northern end
of the Island during the Union occupation. (Remains of this Fort as
well as other historical treasures have been preserved as vital treasures
of our past. A 1861 map shows the original plantations and
landmarks. (Leamington was called Leamington even in 1861.
Developers have kept the Island history in mind as they have planned
present Island developments.) Call the Coastal Discovery Museum at
Honey Horn: 843-689-3033 ext 221 and learn many more interesting
details and make reservations to take one of their many special tours.
They offer a variety of programs throughout the year.
46 • May 2009 Where To Go Hilton Head
“Modern” Hilton Head began in the 50s and the Island has seen
phenomenal growth thanks to wise and carefully planned
development. The term “plantation” had not been used since the
turn of the century until the development of Sea Pines Plantation.
Charles Fraser conceived and pioneered the concepts of respect for
the environment. His philosophy was to offer
amenities first (golf courses, marinas, bike paths,
etc.) and development would follow. The result of
that philosophy you see today. (Unfortunately, Mr.
Fraser died in an untimely accident in December,
2002. He was buried under the Liberty Oak in
Harbour Town. A fitting tribute to a man who
meant so much to the recognition and growth of
this island.) Hilton Head recognizes over 35,000
permanent residents and hosts more than two
million visitors each year. The Island has
become a year round resort destination.
There are two lighthouses on Hilton
Head. Most famous is the 90 ft. tall Harbour Town
lighthouse in Sea Pines. Climb to the top. Take
your camera. (You’ll also find a great shop with the
best selection of lighthouse memorabilia
anywhere.) The other one is on the Arthur Hills Golf Course in
Palmetto Dunes Resort.
Turtle Lane is so named for the Loggerhead turtles who come to
shore to bury their eggs then return to the sea (you’ll see white
markers along the beach designating a protected area where
Loggerheads make their way to their nesting area). And in years
past, we even had a Leatherback Turtle make her way to our shores.
More than 250 species of birds return to Hilton Head during
the year. “The Birders Guide to Hilton Head Island And The
Lowcountry,” published by Hilton Head Audubon Society, is
considered to be the ‘birders’ bible.
The SC State Tree is the Sabal or Cabbage Palmetto. Hardiest
palm along the coastal plain, the trunk is covered with overlays of
thick husks. Palmetto means “small palm” in Spanish. This tree was
a symbol of the Revolution. The Palmetto is pictured on our state
flag & state seal. A full size replica of the tree stands on the grounds
of the State Capitol in Columbia. It was erected as a memorial to
the men of the Palmetto Regiment of South Carolina who fought in
the Mexican War.
The State Shell is the Lettered Olive. Our State Bird, the Carolina
Wren, is pictured on some SC license plates. Yellow Jasmine is the
State Flower. The state dance is “The Shag”. The Peach, the state
fruit, and the state beverage is (nope, not gin & tonic), but milk (1%
or at least lowfat, I hope). (The state social drink is iced tea.) The state
fish is the Bass. The state animal is the Whitetail Deer (Bambi &
friends), not the alligator. And also listed in the SC Legislative
handbook is the state spider: the Wolf Spider.
Shaped like a shoe (toe, instep, heel and ankle), Hilton Head
is about 12 miles long, up to 4 miles wide and encompasses
about 42 square miles. The beach extends almost the entire length
of the Island. Trees grow right up to the beachline. Beautiful palms
and palmettos, magnolias, tall pines and ancient oak trees are
abundant. This natural protection as well as God’s smile have
preserved our Island from heavy storm damage.
Not “just another pretty place,” Hilton Head is a very special
Island that more than 35,000 of us call home. Not without our
growing pains (or maybe we can call them “growing gains”), we’re
concerned with our environment and Island growth with its
accompanying problems. We continue to define and implement
ways to make our Island even better. Come again and be a part of
the new history you are helping create on Hilton Head Island.

Less Than An Hour Away
BEAUFORT
Take time to explore the historical city of Beaufort, less than an
hour away. Architecture you don’t see on Hilton Head, a city
steeped in history plus the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Low-
country ambience as you drive. Did you know that settlement
was attempted in Beaufort even before St. Augustine and almost
half a century before Jamestown and Plymouth Rock? Prior to the
Civil War, Beaufort was known as one of the wealthiest cities for
its size in America. Beautiful antebellum homes designed along
Georgian and colonial architectural lines stand today as a monu-
ment to a splendid past as well as symbols of a flourishing econo-
my. Waterfront Park hosts the Gullah Festival in May, the
Water Festival in July and walking or driving tours
throughout the year. The Beaufort Chamber of Commerce 1-
843-524-3163 is on Boundary Street. They offer useful literature,
maps & more information on making the most of your visit.
BLUFFTON
From a quiet little town to a growing thoroughfare leading to
Hilton Head Island, Bluffton is becoming a thriving business com-
munity. Besides providing rich cultural and historical opportuni-
ties, many businesses have chosen Bluffton to relocate, or to open
additional “off island” shopping & dining opportunities. From the
historical streets and homes now made into museums to the
national businesses like Home Depot & the Tanger Outlet Stores
with more than 100 national discount stores, you’ll find art gal-
leries and lovely old churches, and many quaint little shops. But
maybe its the people that you will enjoy. Truly wonderful folks,
who got there first; knew a good thing and stayed. (Don’t speed.
They will be waiting for you.)
DAUFUSKIE ISLAND
According to the late Billie Burn, who’s book “An Island Called
Daufuskie” , the most comprehensive and complete history of the
island, the name Daufuskie came from the American Indian word
daufa meaning feather, and fuskie meaning short or pointed,
describing the shape of the island. The past few years have seen a
dramatic change from the island described in Pat Conroy’s book
“The Water Is Wide”. Today, the island features three luxuri-
ous gated communities: Haig Point, Melrose and Bloody
Point, as well as the Historical Districts that allow one to
“step back in time”. Just minutes from Harbour Town by boat
but miles apart in character, the island features 3 magnificent golf
courses (including a Rees Jones favorite), gorgeous uncrowded
beaches, tennis courts, great biking and a wonderful array of flora
and fauna. Calibogue Cruises (342-TOUR) offers trips into the
past on the Island, as well as a look to the future as you observe
one of the last barrier islands to be developed. You can spend the
night in one of their Crab Shacks (rustic elegance) at Freeport
Marina, complete with great stories to tell when you get back
home. Outside Hilton Head (686-6996) also offers tours of the
island, as well as trips between Page Island & Daufuskie.
SAVANNAH, GA
Why not go by boat!! Take the Spirit of Harbour Town (363-
9026), departs from Harbour Town. A memorable and effortless trip
via water to River Street. Once a riverfront collection of run-down
and abandoned warehouses, River Street today is a charming, park-
filled area where you can watch tugboats busily forcing huge ships
into their respective loading docks. Spend the day in the gift and spe-
ciality shops. Sample the seafood in the many restaurants. Enjoy a
carriage tour or Trolley to some of the historical sections. Savannah
boasts many home museums, at least 13 public museums, and his-
torical Old Fort Jackson. (You’ll need a car or cab to get there). One
of the most interesting museums is Ships of the Sea Maritime Muse-
um (912-232-1511). The Haunted History Walking Tour, Civil War
/City History & Ironworks Tour are fascinating .(912-232-4268).
“There are more ghosts in downtown Savannah than anywhere else
in the United States.” Learn more about the famous Mercer House
(Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil). If your schedule permits,

route, here are the directions for getting there: From the Sea Pines Traffic
