Beaches
Hilton Head Island is known for its 12-miles of pristine beaches.
The main event for many visitors, public beaches are easy to find and access throughout the island. Certain beaches may offer more amenities than others, such as grills, picnic pavilions, or seasonal lifeguards and beach rentals. If you’re interested in reserving a free beach wheelchair at either Islanders Beach Park or Coligny Beach Park, visit the town’s website here.
Preserving our beaches and protecting wildlife is a top priority on Hilton Head, so please do your part. That means taking everything you’ve brought to your beach day—trash included—with you when you leave, filling up any holes that you’ve dug, and staying off of all dunes at all times.

Free beach wheelchair program
The Town of Hilton Head is making it easier for people with disabilities to access the beach with the launch of its new beach wheelchair program.
It’s that time of year again when the idea of walking ankle-deep in the refreshing Atlantic, building sandcastles, and soaking up the Carolina sunshine becomes a little bit more irresistible. Although Hilton Head’s temperate weather allows locals and visitors alike to visit its beautiful beaches year-round, there’s an explosion of activity that begins every year around Memorial Day that brings more tents and towels to our beaches. The summer season is an exciting time buzzing with more people to meet and more chances to make lasting memories with friends and family.
As you prepare for your upcoming summer vacation to Hilton Head Island, make sure you brush up on your beach safety. Don’t allow the anxiety of what could go wrong deter you from having fun during your vacation. On the other hand, you also don’t want to get caught unprepared if something does happen.
