Spring Break at Hilton Head, South Carolina

We spent a chilly but fun day walking along the streets of Savannah. We spent time (and some money) investigating the antiques and art galleries along the Savannah River and cobblestone/brick lanes in the center of the city.

Quick Tips:

The small town of Beaufort, South Carolina, had some of the oldest and most picturesque houses and gardens of all the towns. Go and see them!

Best Way To Get Around:

Have your car available... Savannah is about a 45-minute trip, Beaufort is about 30 minutes, and Charleston is about a 1 1/2-hour trip. The traffic around Hilton Head can be frustrating!!

Best Things Nearby:
With my 19-year-old daughter, 23-year-old son, my wife, and I spent a week visiting the coastal lands of Georgia and South Carolina. The March spring weather was cold and wet. However, the people and historic towns of Savannah, Georgia; Hilton Head, Beaufort and Charleston, South Carolina kept us warm and delighted to be there. All these towns were within driving distance of the resort.

Best Things About the Resort:
The amenities were wonderful!! The size of the combined kitchen-dining room-living room, bedrooms and bathrooms made you feel quite at home.

Resort Experience:
We used the facility as a base to visit the coastal lowlands of Georgia and South Carolina. But Hilton Head is a trip all on its own and one that we did not take advantage of. The resort provided tennis, golf, bicycling, and other activities; however, the time and weather did not allow us to experience any of these.

Beautiful location overlooking the inland bay. We had the mahimahi and scallops at the Old Fort Pub, which were some of the highlights on our trip. We were surprised and loved the entertainment provided by a dozen male-singing group from Yale. The preppy college boys wearing blue blazers and blue-and-gold ties entertained us at the Old Fort Pub, singing old college tunes.

We heard the waiter's stories of ghosts while we ate some of the best she-crab soup in the area. We had grilled scallops, grouper, and flounder that were delicious. See their website. Excellent place to visit with a great deal of "color".

One of the best seafood restaurants. We had sizzling flounder, crab cakes, and albacore fish. All were cooked to perfection... not fancy with noodles, etc. The dishes allowed the seafood to "speak for itself." For appetizers, we had she-crab soup and boiled peanuts. And our desserts of cheesecake and their homemade bread pudding were too good.
