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 off-season 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.......and always the beach! 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 Brew & FoodFest Sept 813. 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 2009 Sunshine and “winter season rates”. Winter Carnival co-ordinates with the Heart Assoc Fundraiser. A monthlong Gullah Celebration in Feb. Van der Meer Tennis Center hosts The International Tennis Symposium $25,000 Championships. MARCH SpringFest 2009! Celebration features the largest outdoor Wine Festival on the East Coast March 1-14 sponsored by Hilton Head Area Hospitality Assoc.

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. may also be seen at www. WhereToGo.sc

“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 just this year, we had a Leatherback Turtle who made 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. Recently 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.

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.
