Family Fun Unplugged: 7 days in Hilton Head

Upon your arrival, settle into your comfortable hotel. Take a moment to soak in the vacation vibes as you relax by the pool. In the evening, gather around a beachside firepit to make some s'mores, creating memories under the starry sky.

Start the day with a beach adventure. We enjoyed Islanders Beach Park because at low tide it had nice little sandy tide pool areas that my kids loved. After a morning of seaside exploration, head back to your hotel to enjoy a leisurely lunch at the hotel bar. Take in the serene ocean views and embrace the relaxed pace of island life.

Immerse yourself in the Lowcountry's charm with a thrilling Dolphin Tour. Afterwards, explore the wonders of the Lowcountry Celebration Park. They have an awesome pirate ship splash pad and park for the kids to play. We also love Coligny Beach, which is right by the park. The white sand is gorgeous. For dinner, indulge in fresh-caught shrimp from the Piggly Wiggly, savoring the authentic flavors of the coastal region. I know it sounds like a weird suggestion, but the shrimp is literally caught that day and brought right to the Piggly Wiggly, so it's fresh and delicious.

Venture on a day trip to the enchanting city of Savannah. Delve into its history and vibrant streets with a guided tour. We opted for a short horse drawn carriage tour, which was perfect with our young kids. Enjoy a delightful lunch at the iconic Pirate House, where history meets exquisite cuisine. Don't forget to treat yourself to the delectable ice cream at Leopold's. If you are dairy free, I highly recommend Leopold’s, the best dairy free ice cream I have ever had, my husband didn’t even notice a difference. Make sure to wander along the historic River Street and make time to explore the fascinating dinosaur exhibit at the JW Marriott.

Let the sun and sand embrace you on another glorious beach day. If you’re in the mood to go out for dinner, I recommend trying Dockside. The food is great, and you can catch a beautiful sunset right on the water.

You cannot go to Hilton Head without visiting the iconic Sea Pines Resort. Make sure you have cash as there is a $9 fee to enter the area and they do not accept card of any sort. You can visit the lighthouse and eat lunch at Quarterdeck Quarterdeck | The Sea Pines Resort or one of their many options. If you are visiting Sea Pines with kids the Pirate Ship adventure aboard the Black Dagger Pirate Ship Cruise | Pirates Of Hilton Head - SC is a must. The kids loved fighting Stinky Pete and finding pirate treasure, it is an experience the kids will be talking about for weeks.

As your journey comes to an end, make the most of your final day by relaxing at the hotel's pool or on the beach. It's the perfect way to bid farewell to the enchanting Lowcountry before heading home.
