Thanksgiving is a special time to enjoy the company of loved ones, savor delicious meals, and express gratitude. This year, consider adding a dash of Southern charm to your traditional celebration by choosing Hilton Head Island for your holiday destination! Here are just a few reasons why you should.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Hilton Head Island invites you to pause and immerse yourself in its natural beauty. From its sandy beaches and lush forests to serene marshlands, it's an ideal setting for a peaceful Thanksgiving retreat.
Local Recommendation: Don't miss visiting the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, a paradise for bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. For an unforgettable view of the sunset, make your way to Skull Creek.
Thanksgiving is all about food, and Hilton Head Island does not disappoint. Local restaurants like The Porch Southern Kitchen and Bar and Frankie Bones offer a delightful culinary experience. If you prefer to prepare your own Thanksgiving meal, local grocery stores such as Piggly Wiggly, Publix, Whole Foods, or Harris Teeter have all the essentials. You can also enhance your feast with items from specialty gourmet stores like Rollers Wine & Spirits, A & M Provisions, or Hilton Head Oils & Balsamics.
Local Recommendation: For a stress-free Thanksgiving dinner, consider dining at Hilton Head favorites like Old Oyster Factory, One Hot Mama’s, Alexander's Restaurant, Red Fish Hilton Head, or Coast at Sea Pines Resort. Remember to make a reservation to ensure a memorable Thanksgiving dinner.
Hilton Head Island has something for everyone. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at one of the island's top courses, while those who prefer a more leisurely time might opt for a bike ride through the island trails, or a dolphin-watching cruise. Kids will love the interactive exhibits at the
Coastal Discovery Museum and history buffs can add an educational element to their Thanksgiving getaway with a visit to the Heritage Library. After a day of exploring, you can also unwind at the Burnt Church Distillery and sample unique spirits.
Local Recommendation: Enhance your cultural understanding with a guided Gullah Heritage Trail tour. And for a unique experience for the entire family, try a Western-style guided ride with Lawton Stables through the expansive Sea Pines Forest Preserve.
