Families have flocked to Hilton Head, South Carolina as long as there have been people on the eastern seaboard. Early Native Americans of the area wintered among the yellow pines and palmettos of this barrier island, enjoying the mild climate as they feasted on the plentiful seafood. Later, as the new colonies were settled, Spanish, French, and English explorers and entrepreneurs spent time among the high bluffs and beaches of this 12-mile long island. Visionaries later saw the unique beauty of this island and have protected its wildlife and marshes, enabling visitors to enjoy clean beaches, lush forests, and clean air.
