10 Reasons Why Our Visitors Get Excited About a Vacation to Hilton Head Island

“I live in Wisconsin and I can’t wait to get here, especially when the weather is not so great back home. Once I arrive, I always say, “I’ve made it to my happy place!” I can’t wait to walk over the boardwalk and see the ocean. Every morning, I look forward to grabbing my coffee and heading to the beach to watch the beautiful sunrise. Dinner plans are usually somewhere I can watch the sunset. When I’m here, there are always things to do and see and new places to discover!” -Jean M-L

 

Comments and messages like the example above always tug at our heartstrings. One of our favorite things about sharing the beauty of the Lowcountry with our social media followers and blog readers is getting to hear the very reasons as to why they return to our home year after year.

Staying Mindful of Our Impact: Sustainable Practices on Hilton Head Island

Did you know Hilton Head Island was America’s first eco-planned community? That our commitment to developing tree cover has been continuously recognized by Tree City, USA, for over 20 years? Plus, America’s Favorite Island® is proudly the first public Audubon International Sustainable Community in South Carolina. As stewards of the Lowcountry’s rich biodiversity, we’re proud of our ongoing eco-conscious efforts, but we know there is still much more to do. April 22, 2023, marks the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day, and we’re reflecting on our preservation commitments while looking toward the future. Every year, we strive for new ways to grow our sustainable practices, build environmental awareness, and advocate for our wildlife. Right now, protecting our world is more important than ever, and we continue to encourage mindful travel and living practices that help reduce carbon footprints and keep our earth flourishing.
