Hilton
Head Island Travel Guide By
Jeff Palmer
Hilton Head Island was the
first ecologically-planned
destination in The United
States. Light pollution
ordinances are in effect
across the island to protect
the habits of the loggerhead
turtles which sometimes
confuse the lights of
dwellings and street lights
with that of the ocean.
Protections are in place to
protect the beautiful live
oaks and palmetto trees which
cover the island. Salt
marshes, beaches and lagoons
remain in pristine condition
across the island. While
modern conveniences such as
shopping malls and five star
hotels are widely available;
care has been taken to blend
these structures into the
native ecology as much as
possible.
The 2.5 million travelers who
arrive annually to Hilton Head
Island find an infinite
variety of activities and
reasons for visiting. Whether
