LOCAL NEWS

With the summer sun shining brightly, there's no better time to explore the stunning beauty and vibrant offerings of Hilton Head Island. This coastal gem truly shines during the summer months. To help you make the most of your visit, we've curated a list of the top five activities to enjoy in this summer paradise!

1. Bask in the Sunshine on Hilton Head's Gorgeous Beaches

When it comes to sun-drenched relaxation, Hilton Head's beaches are unrivaled. Whether you prefer the soft sands of Coligny Beach Park, the tranquil atmosphere of Mitchelville Beach, or the pristine shores of Folly Field Beach, you'll find the perfect spot to unwind. Soak up the sun, take refreshing dips in the Atlantic, build sandcastles with your loved ones, and let the rhythmic sound of the ocean waves wash away your worries.

Take the path less traveled and enjoy a relaxing day at the beach

2. Embark on a Kayaking Adventure

Explore the island's waterways and witness the mesmerizing coastal ecosystems firsthand by embarking on a kayaking adventure. Take one of our guided tours right off the dock at Bluewater Resort. Whether you choose to venture out on a guided tour or rent a kayak to paddle at your own pace, this serene and eco-friendly activity is sure to leave you with lasting memories.

3. Tee Off at World-Class Golf Courses

Hilton Head Island is a golfer's paradise, boasting an array of championship golf courses designed by some of the most esteemed architects in the sport. Picture yourself teeing off on the iconic Harbour Town Golf Links, home of the RBC Heritage tournament, or enjoying the picturesque fairways of Palmetto Dunes. Golf enthusiasts of all skill levels will find their perfect course.

4. Delve into the Arts at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina

Nestled amidst lush surroundings, the Art Center offers an array of captivating exhibitions, engaging performances, and interactive workshops that cater to a wide range of artistic interests. The Art Center is home to the theatrical production of The Jersey Boys this summer from June 28th to August 20th. It’s the Tony Award-winning sensation about the Four Seasons — the rise, struggles, and ultimate triumph of four friends whose music became symbolic of a generation.

5. Indulge in Culinary Delights

No visit to Hilton Head is complete without savoring the delectable cuisine that the island has to offer. From fresh-off-the-boat seafood to Lowcountry specialties, the culinary scene here is a true delight. Treat yourself to a feast at one of the island's renowned seafood restaurants, sample local favorites like shrimp and grits or she-crab soup, and don't forget to try the region's famous sweet tea.

Spinnaker Resorts 40th Anniversary

The entire Taylor family vacationed on Hilton Head in the late 70s as resort development commenced. Hilton Head’s appeal for the family was the many activities it offered: ocean and beach activities, tennis, cycling, inline skating and golf, all in a beautifully natural environment. Spinnaker Resorts was founded shortly after these initial family visits.

Over the past 40 years Spinnaker Resorts has built or acquired properties in four states. Starting with just 48 units in 1983, the company has grown to over 1100 units and 560+ employees.

2023 will be a year of joy as we celebrate. The Spinnaker family has always exceeded expectations set forth by its peers and 2023 is gearing up for the same results. We look forward to the next 40 years providing and exceeding the Gold Standard of service and support for our Owners and guests.

Celebrate 40 years of Spinnaker Resorts with us all year long
