Hilton Head Beaches

The beaches of Hilton Head Island stretch for over 12 miles along the Southern side of the Island. It is easily possible to walk from one beach to another without even realizing that you have moved from Driessen to Folly Field. So if in doubt, ask a local, the natural Southern charm means we're only too happy to help.
All beaches on Hilton Head Island are public, and you'll see plenty of people taking advantage, from the surfers at Burkes Beach to the volleyball at Coligny, but there are some rules that apply to all beaches in the town:

The following are forbidden:
Alcohol
Bottles and glassware
Litter
Motorized vehicles
Parasailing
Horseback riding
Shark fishing
Removing or disturbing and wild or plant life
Fires (except for cooking on liquid fuel stoves)
Fireworks
Nudity or topless bathing

The only place where you can legally drink alcohol is at the Tiki Hut, part of the Holiday Inn Oceanfront on South Forest Beach.

The beaches are watched by Shore Beach Service, and they also have deck chair rentals at various points along the beaches.
