Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island's 14 miles of
South Carolina beachfront are child-friendly indeed, with shallow waters,
gentle waves, and sand dollar-dotted shores. Watch the water for a while and
you'll likely spot frolicking pods of dolphins; you can even see the smiling
mammals up close by chartering a dolphin cruise. With Harbour Town as your base,
you can arrange cruises and water sports in the shadow of the island's iconic
red-and-white-striped lighthouse, plus tee off on the most famous of Hilton
Head's 25
golf courses—a great place to get the kids started on the sport!
