Why dine on Hilton Head

Island nights. Serious kitchens.

Twelve miles of beach, a marina at nearly every turn, and a dining scene built on Lowcountry shrimp, local oysters and chefs who came for the island and stayed for the kitchens.

01

Candlelight on New Orleans Road

Four of the island's most romantic rooms sit within a few minutes of each other on one quiet road — dinner, then a nightcap, without moving the car twice.

02

Sunset is part of the reservation

Harbour Town, Skull Creek and Shelter Cove Marina all face west. Time your table right and the sky does half the work.

03

Lowcountry on the plate

Local shrimp, raw-bar oysters and fish filleted in-house the same day.

04

Supper-club nights and French bistros

Live jazz with an oversized martini, or a corner table by the fireplace at a French bistro that happens to serve Lowcountry seafood. Both are on the list.
