Hilton Head

On our way to Myrtle Beach, we decided to take a side trip to Hilton Head. We only spent 2 nights there, so we didn't have much time to do stuff.

We went on a bike ride through a national preserve (See Joni on grass) located just a few miles from our RV park. Mainly it was an island with swampy areas around it. Much wild life is found here - alligators, snakes, birds, etc. but we didn't see any. Our ride was short.

Then we headed to the beach and the ocean. The beaches here aren't as nice as Florida beaches, especially during low tide. The sand is hard and the beach is wide. We took our bikes on to the beach for a great ride. See Delton heading down the walkway to the beach. There are only a few spots with public access to the beach, with most of the beach front built up with homes and hotels.

Hilton Head is mainly known for it's golf courses and tennis centers. There are many hotels and up scale shops everywhere. It was very pretty but much too commercial and touristy for us.

The park we stayed in was located on Hilton Head Island and had it's own marina, but it wasn't on the beach. We didn't use the pool, but it had a nice view over the waterway. It was a nice park, but we were ready to move on and get to Myrtle Beach.
