Reasons For All Seasons utstanding accommodations, great restaurants, O value driven & stylish shopping, a different golf course for every day of your visit, enough tennis partners (if you didn’t bring your own), hundreds of tennis courts, great sailing, fishing & days of play on and in the water, a plethora of spas to keep you relaxed. Hilton Head Island has become a year-round vacation choice. More corporations, associations and groups are taking advantage of the wide variety of activities for families this time of year as well as other seasons. While you're here, ask about group rates & attractive offseason rates for your next visit. You’ll be impressed with the professional & helpful staff to help make your next meeting the best one yet. Did you miss the golden arches usually seen silhouetted against the sky or dozens of neon signs flashing “Welcome”as you drove onto the island? Not in this town!! Even the Red Roof Inn doesn’t have a bright red roof on Hilton Head (they did manage to get the Town to approve a muted red roof)! Our business community conforms to very strict building codes & signage (very few neon lights) that protects the beauty and integrity of the original plan of development for the Island. If you have been to Hilton Head Island before, you’ll be surprised to see lots of new development and new shops on Hwy 278 from Sun City coming toward Hilton Head. Exit 8 off I-95 has made it much easier to approach the island directly, and the milemarkers on Island as well as the Cross Island Expressway (toll) around the island directly to the Sea Pines Circle, are very helpful as well. (Don’t speed.) Hilton Head offers different opportunities each season of the year. There’s always a full calendar if you want to stay busy; or you may elect to lay back, relax and enjoy the tranquility our plantation environment provides. Just a few reasons to visit in even another season, consider the following tournaments, events & seasonal pleasures and this is just the beginning........... MAY/JUNE May is one of the most beautiful months. Yacht Hop at Harbour Town for Hospice in May, Rib Burnoff in Shelter Cove Community Park. BRAVO: a monthlong celebration of the arts continues. Harbourfest begins in June. Stingray Basketball Camp is in June and July. JULY/AUGUST 4th of July Celebrations! Water sports, beach fun, kayaking, sailing, warm ocean waters & wide beaches for you and your family to enjoy. Lots of families having a great time!!! SEPT/OCT Sports Season!! Tennis & golf tournaments, lots of water sports. Kayak Around the Island for Charity, Oktoberfest, Chili Cookoff, Halloween, Hilton Head Area Hospitality Fall FoodFest Sept 8-13. WineTime, ZinFest in October. NOV/DEC Concours d’Elegance is the first weekend in November. Christmas shopping on Hilton Head is the best! Enjoy the unhurried island atmosphere. Holiday parties, brilliant charity events, “Nutcracker”, Festival of Trees, plus many, many Christmas boutiques. JAN/FEB 2010 Sunshine and “winter season rates”. Winter Carnival co-ordinates with the Heart Assoc Gala. A monthlong Gullah Celebration in Feb. Van der Meer Tennis Center hosts The International Tennis Symposium $25,000 Championships. MARCH SpringFest 2010! Features the largest outdoor Wine Festival on the East Coast. March 11-13 sponsored by Hilton Head Area Hospitality Assoc. Grand Tasting March 12, Public Tasting March 13.

Where To Go Hilton Head May 2009 • 45

History of the Island ilton Head Island is a product of many cultures, backgrounds and personalities. Influences from the American Indian, African American, Spanish, French and British peoples are reflected in the names of places, plantations, and other parts of Hilton Head Island. We’ve highlighted a few and you’ll discover more via the tours available. The Indian Shell Ring in the Sea Pines Forest Preserve dates back to 1450 B.C. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this mound of oyster shells, animal bones & clay provides a visible monument to the prolific oyster beds and to the Indians who made them one of their staples. In 1521, the Spanish left their mark on the Island. Cordillo Parkway now bears the name of the Spaniard who discovered the harbor to Port Royal about the same time St. Augustine, Florida was founded. In 1562, Admiral Coligny sent Jean Ribaut to lead French Huguenots in a search of religious freedom and although France and Spain fought over the harbor for many years, Spain was eventually given the land in a treaty by the Roman Catholic Pope. By 1663, England, made her bid for a place in the new world. Sir William Hilton, aboard the good ship “Adventure,” sighted tall pines as he searched for the entrance to Port Royal. Marking the spot on his map, sailors referred to this point as “Hilton Head.” Hilton’s glowing report of the fertile soil and ideal growing conditions on the island promoted British colonization. 1698 saw the establishment of large plantations as a result of barony land grants. In 1717, the agent for those original developers sold the land along Skull Creek. The real estate agent called the Island “Trench’s Island.” Settlers established large plantations. Indigo was the major crop on Hilton Head Island from the 1740’s until the Revolutionary War. The entire plant was soaked in water (and with the addition of crushed oyster shells, produced a blue dye valued for its vibrancy and intensity of color.) Across the “toe” of Trench’s Island was “Dawfoskee”.Is has been accepted by most historians that Daufuskie (present spelling) got its name from the Yemassee Indian word that means “land with a point”, (referring to its shape which resembles a pointed feather). The pictured “D’Awfoskee“ chart was published in 1776. The American Revolution fostered a need by the British military for charts and maps of America. Daufuskie (present spelling) Islanders (Tories), supported Britain in the Revolution, while Hilton Head Islanders supported the Colonists. The Civil War was one of the busiest times on the island. Nearly 30,000 Union troops were stationed on Hilton Head after the “Battle of Port Royal Sound” on Nov 7, 1861. Fort Mitchel, built in 1862, and named for Gen. Ormsby Mitchel, who commanded the Union soldiers on Hilton Head in 1862, was part of the defense for the northern end of the Island during the Union occupation. (Remains of this Fort as well as other historical treasures have been preserved as vital treasures of our past. A 1861 map shows the original plantations and landmarks. (Leamington was called Leamington even in 1861. Developers have kept the Island history in mind as they have planned present Island developments.) Call the Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn: 843-689-3033 ext 221 and learn many more interesting details and make reservations to take one of their many special tours. They offer a variety of programs throughout the year.

46 • May 2009 Where To Go Hilton Head

“Modern” Hilton Head began in the 50s and the Island has seen phenomenal growth thanks to wise and carefully planned development. The term “plantation” had not been used since the turn of the century until the development of Sea Pines Plantation. Charles Fraser conceived and pioneered the concepts of respect for the environment. His philosophy was to offer amenities first (golf courses, marinas, bike paths, etc.) and development would follow. The result of that philosophy you see today. (Unfortunately, Mr. Fraser died in an untimely accident in December, 2002. He was buried under the Liberty Oak in Harbour Town. A fitting tribute to a man who meant so much to the recognition and growth of this island.) Hilton Head recognizes over 35,000 permanent residents and hosts more than two million visitors each year. The Island has become a year round resort destination. There are two lighthouses on Hilton Head. Most famous is the 90 ft. tall Harbour Town lighthouse in Sea Pines. Climb to the top. Take your camera. (You’ll also find a great shop with the best selection of lighthouse memorabilia anywhere.) The other one is on the Arthur Hills Golf Course in Palmetto Dunes Resort. Turtle Lane is so named for the Loggerhead turtles who come to shore to bury their eggs then return to the sea (you’ll see white markers along the beach designating a protected area where Loggerheads make their way to their nesting area). And in years past, we even had a Leatherback Turtle make her way to our shores. More than 250 species of birds return to Hilton Head during the year. “The Birders Guide to Hilton Head Island And The Lowcountry,” published by Hilton Head Audubon Society, is considered to be the ‘birders’ bible. The SC State Tree is the Sabal or Cabbage Palmetto. Hardiest palm along the coastal plain, the trunk is covered with overlays of thick husks. Palmetto means “small palm” in Spanish. This tree was a symbol of the Revolution. The Palmetto is pictured on our state flag & state seal. A full size replica of the tree stands on the grounds of the State Capitol in Columbia. It was erected as a memorial to the men of the Palmetto Regiment of South Carolina who fought in the Mexican War. The State Shell is the Lettered Olive. Our State Bird, the Carolina Wren, is pictured on some SC license plates. Yellow Jasmine is the State Flower. The state dance is “The Shag”. The Peach, the state fruit, and the state beverage is (nope, not gin & tonic), but milk (1% or at least lowfat, I hope). (The state social drink is iced tea.) The state fish is the Bass. The state animal is the Whitetail Deer (Bambi & friends), not the alligator. And also listed in the SC Legislative handbook is the state spider: the Wolf Spider. Shaped like a shoe (toe, instep, heel and ankle), Hilton Head is about 12 miles long, up to 4 miles wide and encompasses about 42 square miles. The beach extends almost the entire length of the Island. Trees grow right up to the beachline. Beautiful palms and palmettos, magnolias, tall pines and ancient oak trees are abundant. This natural protection as well as God’s smile have preserved our Island from heavy storm damage. Not “just another pretty place,” Hilton Head is a very special Island that more than 35,000 of us call home. Not without our growing pains (or maybe we can call them “growing gains”), we’re concerned with our environment and Island growth with its accompanying problems. We continue to define and implement ways to make our Island even better. Come again and be a part of the new history you are helping create on Hilton Head Island.

Less Than An Hour Away BEAUFORT

Take time to explore the historical city of Beaufort, less than an hour away. Architecture you don’t see on Hilton Head, a city steeped in history plus the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Lowcountry ambience as you drive. Did you know that settlement was attempted in Beaufort even before St. Augustine and almost half a century before Jamestown and Plymouth Rock? Prior to the Civil War, Beaufort was known as one of the wealthiest cities for its size in America. Beautiful antebellum homes designed along Georgian and colonial architectural lines stand today as a monument to a splendid past as well as symbols of a flourishing economy. Waterfront Park hosts the Gullah Festival in May, the Water Festival in July and walking or driving tours throughout the year. The Beaufort Chamber of Commerce 1843-524-3163 is on Boundary Street. They offer useful literature, maps & more information on making the most of your visit.

BLUFFTON

From a quiet little town to a growing thoroughfare leading to Hilton Head Island, Bluffton is becoming a thriving business community. Besides providing rich cultural and historical opportunities, many businesses have chosen Bluffton to relocate, or to open additional “off island” shopping & dining opportunities. From the historical streets and homes now made into museums to the national businesses like Home Depot & the Tanger Outlet Stores with more than 100 national discount stores, you’ll find art galleries and lovely old churches, and many quaint little shops. But maybe its the people that you will enjoy. Truly wonderful folks, who got there first; knew a good thing and stayed. (Don’t speed. They will be waiting for you.)

DAUFUSKIE ISLAND

According to the late Billie Burn, who’s book “An Island Called Daufuskie” , the most comprehensive and complete history of the island, the name Daufuskie came from the American Indian word daufa meaning feather, and fuskie meaning short or pointed, describing the shape of the island. The past few years have seen a dramatic change from the island described in Pat Conroy’s book “The Water Is Wide”. Today, the island features three luxurious gated communities: Haig Point, Melrose and Bloody Point, as well as the Historical Districts that allow one to “step back in time”. Just minutes from Harbour Town by boat but miles apart in character, the island features 3 magnificent golf courses (including a Rees Jones favorite), gorgeous uncrowded beaches, tennis courts, great biking and a wonderful array of flora and fauna. Calibogue Cruises (342-TOUR) offers trips into the past on the Island, as well as a look to the future as you observe one of the last barrier islands to be developed. You can spend the night in one of their Crab Shacks (rustic elegance) at Freeport Marina, complete with great stories to tell when you get back home. Outside Hilton Head (686-6996) also offers tours of the island, as well as trips between Page Island & Daufuskie.

SAVANNAH, GA

Why not go by boat!! Take the Spirit of Harbour Town (3639026), departs from Harbour Town. A memorable and effortless trip via water to River Street. Once a riverfront collection of run-down and abandoned warehouses, River Street today is a charming, parkfilled area where you can watch tugboats busily forcing huge ships into their respective loading docks. Spend the day in the gift and speciality shops. Sample the seafood in the many restaurants. Enjoy a carriage tour or Trolley to some of the historical sections. Savannah boasts many home museums, at least 13 public museums, and historical Old Fort Jackson. (You’ll need a car or cab to get there). One of the most interesting museums is Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum (912-232-1511). The Haunted History Walking Tour, Civil War /City History & Ironworks Tour are fascinating .(912-232-4268). “There are more ghosts in downtown Savannah than anywhere else in the United States.” Learn more about the famous Mercer House (Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil). If your schedule permits, have breakfast or lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Restaurant. Or lunch or dinner at Paula Deen’s Lady & Sons. At the end of your visit the return to Hilton Head (by boat or taxi) will bring you back safely and with far more beautiful scenery, not to mention great memories, than driving it yourself. Hwy 278 is open to I-95 at Exit 8 or you can take Highway 17. If you drive, please don’t speed!! Especially through Bluffton. Speed trap!!! (Another reason to go by boat)

11am until, Mon-Sat 843-785-2466 Serving all day 24F Palmetto Bay Road ALCOHOL, SPEED LIMITS AND THE LAW A word of concern from WHERE TO GO. We care about you and your safety. There is nothing pleasant about spending your vacation in the Beaufort County Jail. They are nice folks over there, but there is no “Happy Hour” (and they do not accept VISA or MasterCard) In fact, we can almost guarantee you will NOT have a good time. DUI’s go directly to jail. They do cross the bridge, but they do NOT collect $200. In fact, you may end up paying that amount. And SC law prohibits open containers of any alcoholic beverages in the passenger section of your car. Judge Rita Simmons, is very personable, but you do not want to see her in court. The speed limit on the Island is 45 mph with 35 posted in many areas. Our Law Enforcement team is very effective so do not exceed the limit. Believe me, they do not want to “make your day.” The speed limit coming onto the Island is 55 mph TOPS. It’s 45 at the foot of the bridge and they mean it! Watch it on the Cross Island Expressway, and especially on Palmetto Bay Rd. Unmarked Thunderbirds are watching for you and their sole reason for existence is writing tickets. It would be smart not to mix boating & alcohol. The Beaufort County Marine Patrol may be watching you. Be smart & safe. And watch those no wake zones.

BAR AND LIQUOR LAWS Package stores are identified by the red dot. They close at 7:00 p.m. Mon-Sat. Closed on Sunday. You may buy an alcoholic beverage Sundays in most restaurants serving food. Beer & wine are available Sundays at the grocery stores. An ordinance prohibits alcohol on the beach!
