About half a mile from Hilton Head Island lies Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, which
has great outdoor wildlife and nature classrooms. It is a popular tourist destination for those
who love to explore, photograph wildlife, hunt white-tailed deer, go fishing, or just hike and
bike through the 14 miles of trails that meander throughout the refuge. The 4,053-acre
refugee consists of Pinckney Island, Big Harry and Little Harry Islands, Corn Island, and
Buzzard Island. Pinckney is the largest.
The refuge consists mostly of salt marsh, brush land, forestland and freshwater ponds that
are teeming with life. You can spot more than 250 species of birds, white-tailed deer, bobcats,
red foxes, and plenty of American alligators. Take a hike to Dick Point or White Point – the
breathtaking vista is worth an extra effort

Just a few minutes from Coligny Beach Park, you will find yourself in a different world. Deep,
mysterious forests, secluded lakes, and elevated walkways over dark swamps infested with
crocodiles are just a few of the things you can see at Sea Pines Forest Preserve, the place
discovered by a group of nomadic Indians about 4000 years ago.
They left us remnants of their ceremonial plaza, which today is known as the Indian Shell Ring,
and traces of their long abandoned village. Explore the Forest Preserve on foot, horseback, on
a wagon, boat or on bike and travel through boardwalks and along paths, small, overgrown
canals, and high observation towers.
Enjoy miles of blooming meadows full of native flowers, look at the birds and other denizens
of four small lakes and numerous canals that are meticulously preserved. The Fraser family
established the Preserve in 1959, and they dedicated 605 acres of Sea Pines resort land for
the wildlife sanctuary and public park.

Outdoor activities
When you are on an island, it is very likely that there is more to see around the island than on
it. Live Oac will help you see all those hidden parts. As the Hilton Head Island’s most popular
outdoor adventure company since 1996, they will offer you a chance to see dolphins
frolicking in the water, sharks feeding, turtles slowly swimming, and birds hiding in the
mangroves.
Their incredibly comfortable boat Odyssey has a very quiet motor with a noise suppressor to
avoid disturbing the animals. Live Oac can take you fishing, kayaking, waterskiing,
wakeboarding, or tubing. You can explore the creeks or just cruise around the island and

When you visit an island, you expect to have a good amount of fun on the water. On Hilton
Head, that means heading to the Harbour Town Marina and signing up for one of the H2O
Sports activities. The only problem is deciding which activity to try, or at least which to try
first: fly a Parasail, go paddle boarding, rent a Jet Ski, ride a banana boat, see the alligators,
rent a sailboat or a boat, explore in a kayak, go sailing, see the dolphins, go tubing or
waterskiing. Even if you have really active kids, these activities should be enough to keep
them busy. H2O has highly trained and certified guides, their equipment is new and in
excellent shape.

Upon entering the Jazz Corner, you might suddenly feel disoriented. The establishment seems more like one of New York celebrated jazz club than an unassuming joint on the quaint resort island of Hilton Head. However, The Jazz Corner made its name on the jazz map of the world and is considered one of the best jazz establishments out there. Moody, elegant, and sophisticated, with soft lighting and original paintings on the walls, the Corner features décor that sets the mood for the magic to come.
Every night, seven days a week, their stage welcomes some of the best contemporary jazz musicians in the country. You will soon realize that the food is not an afterthought in this place. They serve Southern fare, but the menu items are by no means predictable. Try grilled jumbo sea scallops wrapped in prosciutto, drenched in butter sauce, Oilerie balsamic vinegar, and apricot and pear chutney served with crispy kale on Boursin Carolina risotto. The Jazz Corner’s martinis are satisfying and refreshing.
