City insight: Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island is a resort town on a barrier island in Beaufort County, South Carolina, within the Lowcountry and about 20 miles northeast of Savannah, Georgia. It takes its name from Captain William Hilton, who identified the headland near Port Royal Sound in 1663. The climate is humid subtropical, with hot, muggy summers and mild winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
