The Ultimate Hilton Head Island Honeymoon Itinerary

Many couples get so tied up on the day of their ceremony that finding time to sit down for dinner, or even grabbing an hors d'oeuvre, can seem like a gargantuan task. It’s a busy day, and food might be the last thing on your mind. Make up for missed opportunities with a sensational dining experience at one of our romantic restaurants. Links, An American Grill overlooks the 9th hole of the famous Harbour Town Golf Links at The Sea Pines Resort. This elegant Tuscan-inspired steakhouse features seven wonderful cuts of prime steak, complemented by an unbeatable ambiance. Alexander’s Restaurant & Wine Bar is a superb seafood restaurant located at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. They offer locally-caught seafood, Lowcountry favorites, and an exceptional wine list. Looking for a cozy meal under the cover of the expansive South Carolina sky, stars included? Skull Creek Dockside resembles an old-style river house and leaves you feeling like you’ve stepped into a Nicholas Sparks novel. Here you can dine dockside while witnessing some of the most stunning sunset views. Talk about romantic!

With 12 miles of pristine white sand and tranquil waters, Hilton Head Island is the perfect place to have a private picnic or a fun beach day. On the beach, you can reminisce on your favorite wedding memories and plan for your future. To ensure everyone's comfort, Alder Lane, Burkes Beach, Coligny Beach, Driessen Beach, Fish Haul, Folly Field, and Islanders Beach are all equipped with mats to make them wheelchair accessible. You can even rent a beach wheelchair at Islanders Beach Park and Coligny Beach Park through the Beach Wheelchair Program. Worry less and pack light with access to companies like Shore Beach Service, Inc., who deliver and set up your beach equipment for you each day. Perhaps you’re interested in spending your time at the beach a little more actively. If that is the case, rent a bike from Hilton Head Outfitters & Bike Rentals and feel the freedom of our hard-packed beaches and 80 miles of on-land bike trails connecting you from beach to beach. Perhaps this is the perfect time to test your abilities on a tandem bike built for two?

Few things are quite as bonding or memorable as sharing a new experience with a loved one. Lucky for you, Hilton Head Island is paradise for such adventures. Where else can you see a dolphin, parasail, go golfing, and dine at an award-winning restaurant all in the same day? While Hilton Head Island is home to 23 golf courses, we suggest you try your shot on our Heritage Golf Collection courses, which boast 117 holes of award-winning, championship golf. 

Looking forward to seeing a dolphin pod in its natural habitat? Book a tour with Island Skiff Adventure Tours, where you can drive your own two-person skiff boat and see the dolphins who call our waters home up close and personal. Don’t worry, a guide will help you safely navigate the waters and show you the best spots to see our finned friends.
