Hilton Head family vacations take you straight to the heart of nature. Here's your chance for fun and frolic on the beaches, lagoons, salt marshes, and woods on an island that has a dazzling range of excitements to offer. Resorts and golf courses attract visitors in millions and the hauntingly beautiful sunsets ensure they got what they came for. What exactly are you looking for in your Hilton Head family vacation?

Chances are your Hilton Head family vacation began as one big rush to just get here. Now that you are here, wind down at the beach under the sun and in the surf. Once you're happy with the tan and had your fill of the sand, move on to greener pastures inland. Hit the right note with a trip to Adventure Cove where kids and adults have plenty to rave about.

Explore Harbor Town with its restaurants and shops full of goodies. The marina with the various docked vessels is an elegant sight to behold. You can't miss the lighthouse looming against the blue skies. At the pier is where you get to take a dolphin spotting cruise, and you certainly get more than you bargained for. In addition to the friendly dolphins, you also get to see otters, sea turtles and birds like cormorants, pelicans, and blue herons. The pier is also the place to get some water sport activities like jet skiing, sailing, and kayaking. There's plenty right here to fill your Hilton Head family vacation for at least a couple of days.

What probably sets a Hilton Head family vacation apart from the others in the genre would have to be the copious amount of golf and tennis available literally everywhere. Some resorts like the Sea Pines give golf lessons for under 17 year olds. This should most certainly put Hilton Head at the top of family vacation destinations.

Speaking of resorts, they are quite popular with visitors on Hilton Head family vacations, and almost always booked out. If you intend to stay in one, make sure you reserve well in advance and confirm before you set out. There are a number of camps and programs aimed solely at kids. These include activities from face painting to crabbing and kayaking to mountain biking.

Here are a few things to keep in mind to take the pain out of a Hilton Head family vacation. Being almost tropical in nature there is the possibility of mosquito attacks at dusk, especially after wet weather. Bring repellent. Alligators might look lethargic and uninterested in you, but are known to move fast and bite hard. Do not wade into water bodies. While swimming in the sea, watch out for jellyfish stings. The streets do not have great lighting at nights so as not to upset and disorient the wild life. Stay in.
