Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort

We have stayed at Hilton Head Island numerous times, and in all our travels, it still remains as one of our most favorite beach destinations. This guide will give you all the information you need to make the most of your time on Hilton Head, whether it's one day, or a whole season. You'll learn the layout of the island, how to get around, the types and best accommodations, where to eat, where to play, what to explore, and more.

Play the classic courses of Hilton Head Island, including the famous Harbour Town Golf Links, the Robert Trent Jones course at Palmetto Dunes, and dine on exquisite seafood or grab the best beach bar burgers in town. Depending on your budget, the three hotel options at the Sonesta Resort, Omni Resort, or within the Sea Pines area, a bit more expensive, is the Inn at Harbour Town. Play golf at world-class courses, including Harbour Town Golf Links, which plays host to the RBC Heritage PGA Tour event each year, and is a classic Pete Dye design. Depending on budgets and time, add in 18 holes at the Jones Course at Palmetto Dunes, one of the best public courses outside of Sea Pines, and also the Atlantic Dunes course by Davis Love III in Sea Pines. For a couple extra rounds, the Old South course just off Hilton Head in nearby Bluffton is a classic, then Arthur Hills or the Fazio course at Palmetto Dunes can also make for a great additional round if you're still looking for more golf. For dinner and a special evening of seafood, steaks, great wine and cocktails, Coast at Sea Pines should not be missed. For more casual dinners, be sure to dine at the Fishcamp at Broad Cree, or catch some patio music on the water at the famous Salty Dog Cafe. Don't forget a walk along the beach between your rounds of golf, you won't want to miss a sunrise if you can, either!
