Rain can be rare on Hilton Head, but when an occasional island shower does occur here are some fun things to check out.
First off, let’s talk about a little alfresco dining and cocktails. There are a number of waterside restaurants that offer outdoor, covered (and even heated when need be) dining.
Both Skull Creek Boathouse and Dockside Waterfront Restaurant are nestled side by side in a picture-perfect setting right on the meandering waters of Skull Creek. The location is known for legendary sunsets (they can even be more spectacular on days with rain passing through).
Anchoring Shelter Cove Center’s charming shops and beautiful park along the Broad Creek waterfront is Poseidon: two stories of indoor and outdoor music, laughter, clinking glasses, and the tantalizing scents of fresh-catch seafood and fine steaks. Down the water on the other side of Broad Creek is Fishcamp: a sea foodie’s fantasy right along the banks of Broad Creek. It has extensive outside seating including a full bar all undercover from the elements.
Head over to Bluffton for some spirited fun at the recently opened Burnt Church Distillery. This remarkable and breathtaking piece of architecture is home to a variety of craft spirits all inspired by the history, legend, and lore of Hilton Head and the Lowcountry. Enjoy taste nuances with sipping flights while uncovering hidden local mysteries. From Palmer’s Stretch Whiskey to Devil’s Elbow Gin, “These are spirits with a story to tell.”
