With such an amazing variety of things to do on Hilton Head Island, somewhere, somebody is teeing up for the best round of golf they've ever played.

Somewhere, a family of four is enjoying their Hilton Head vacation, strolling down a secluded beach as warm Atlantic waters lap at their feet.

Somewhere, a couple is enjoying the pastel-colored sky of a beautiful Hilton Head Island sunset.

Renowned as one of the world's most family-friendly destinations, Hilton Head Island 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. A progressive land purchasing program undertaken by town leadership ensures that 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.

It's easy to see why more than 39,000 people have chosen to call the Island their permanent home. At the very foundation of the Hilton Head Island vacation experience is the community of full-time residents who work hard to make sure their Island is a clean, safe and enjoyable place to visit.

You'll notice it in the friendly faces that greet you wherever you go. There is a relaxed and warm island attitude in the air, one that whispers "Welcome to Hilton Head Island."
