Weekend Trip to Hilton Head Island

Plan the Perfect Weekend Getaway to Hilton Head Island 

A weekend escape to Hilton Head Island is the perfect way to recharge, relax, and enjoy a taste of Lowcountry charm. With 12 miles of pristine shoreline, endless outdoor adventures, and incredible dining and shopping, a quick getaway here feels just as fulfilling as a longer vacation. Whether you’re craving beachside relaxation, wildlife encounters, or indulgent culinary experiences, Hilton Head delivers an unforgettable weekend escape.


Beach Bliss: Where to Spend Your Weekend by the Shore 

With easy beach access and convenient parking, Hilton Head’s stunning coastline is perfect for a weekend retreat. 

  • Coligny Beach Park – Ideal for families, with amenities like a splash pad, swings, and beach rentals. 
  • Folly Field Beach – A scenic spot with soft sand and rolling waves, perfect for a quiet retreat. 
  • Burkes Beach – A great choice for biking on the sand or catching a breathtaking sunrise. 
  • Mitchellville Beach – A tranquil setting for romantic walks and peaceful ocean views. 

From building sandcastles to spotting sea turtle nests or simply soaking up the sun, Hilton Head’s beaches offer something for everyone—even on a short trip!


Make the Most of Your Weekend on the Water 

No visit to Hilton Head is complete without experiencing the island’s marine life. A dolphin-watching cruise is one of the best ways to enjoy the Lowcountry from a different perspective. These 90-minute guided tours take you through the island’s scenic waterways, where you’ll spot bottlenose dolphins, coastal birds, and even historic lighthouses. Most cruises depart from Harbour Town Yacht Basin, a great spot to grab a bite or stroll the marina after your adventure. 

Other fun water activities include: 

  • Kayaking through the salt marshes 
  • Stand-up paddleboarding along the coastline 
  • Sunset sailing for a romantic evening on the water


Dine, Shop & Explore Hilton Head’s Best Spots 

With only a weekend to spare, maximize your time by exploring Hilton Head’s top restaurants, boutiques, and attractions. 

  • Shop & Stroll: Browse Shelter Cove Towne Centre, Harbour Town, and Coligny Plaza for unique local shops, art galleries, and souvenirs. 
  • Dine Like a Local: Hilton Head is a foodie’s paradise, from fresh seafood to Lowcountry classics. Treat yourself to waterfront dining with a spectacular view. 
  • Explore Nature: If you love the outdoors, check out the Sea Pines Forest Preserve or Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge for incredible wildlife spotting.
