Plan a Visit to Hilton Head in January

The Hilton Head Snow Day Event

It’s no secret that snow is an unfamiliar concept to most people living on Hilton Head, but each year, the town decides to bring a little bit of winter to the people. This year, on Saturday, January 25th, 2020, Shelter Cove Community Park will be dusted with snow as children from all over the country get together for a planned snow day. Even if you’re visiting from an area that frequently sees snow, there’s something magical about the annual Hilton Head Snow Day. Every child’s face is lit up with excitement as they point at palmetto trees covered with a thick layer of snow. Bring the whole family out for this event and enjoy live entertainment, inflatable days, and, of course, the snowfield!

Indulge in Seafood During Oyster Season

Winter months down South means oyster time! If you’ve never tried this seafood delicacy, there’s no better place to get ‘em than Hilton Head. Located right on the water, oysters are harvested fresh each day, and you can find them on the menus of every seafood restaurant in time. For a different kind of oyster-eating experience, keep a lookout for the many oyster roasts that take place during the winter. 

Get Outdoors

Hilton Head Island has so many great outdoor recreational activities for any time of the year. Even in the winter, you can embark on a kayaking adventure through the marshes or spend the day fishing. In the morning, wake up with your morning cup of coffee and walk along the beach with a jacket. And, golfers can explore the many different championship courses built to showcase the island’s natural landscape.
