Hilton Head Island in South Carolina is a place of beauty that I’d heard about in the past, so with flights available from Canada to the USA, we thought we would meet up with family for a little getaway. Hilton Head Island is a place of windswept beaches, sand dunes, tranquil waterways and marshes. The Spanish moss draping from live oak trees is a beautiful sight to behold. It’s also known as a golfing destination, but the only thing I shoot with is my camera. We rented a house and stayed in the central part of the island close to Singleton beach. From there we could drive to Harbour Town Lighthouse on the south part of the island in 22 minutes or we could drive to Fish Haul Beach Park on the northern side in 12 minutes. It’s rather a small island and this was a great central location from where we could explore the island. For the most part, I had a beach bike that I used every morning to bike up and down the stretch of the beach with the sun rising up over the ocean. The sand is firm and perfect for biking on with the fat beach bike tires. Whether biking on the beach or on the in-land bike trails, Hilton Head Island has been called one of the most bike-friendly destinations in the United States thanks to hard-packed sand beaches and more than 60 miles of scenic, multi-use bike trails. Since the island is flat, it’s easy for the whole family to enjoy a bike ride together. So here are some of my favorite places to visit and photograph while visiting the island.
