Hi, I’m Stella C. Turtle.

I’d love to help you explore America’s Favorite Island®!  I know all about local events, shops, and all of the things Hilton Head has to offer.

Nobody travels as much as a sea turtle, so who better to answer your questions and give you a Lowcountry tour! 

How can I help you today?

Sea Turtle Season

Something magical happens every summer on the shores of Hilton Head Island’s beaches. The endangered loggerhead sea turtles (like me!) emerge from the Atlantic Ocean to nest. If you’re visiting us from May through early October, you might luck out and see our hatchlings or their tracks in the sand. See how Hilton Head Island preserves and protects this annual occurrence and how you can help our hatchlings safely reach the sea during your stay.
