Hilton Head Walking Tour
Hilton Head, United States
Why Walk Hilton Head
Hilton Head Island is a crescent-shaped barrier island off the South Carolina coast, developed as a resort destination while preserving much of its natural beauty. Ancient live oak trees draped in Spanish moss line the roads, and 12 miles of beach stretch along the Atlantic shore. The island has a significant Gullah Geechee community — descendants of enslaved West Africans who preserved their distinct language, crafts, and foodways.
