Hilton Head Shopping

Families, couples, golfers, tennis players, and singles alike choose Hilton Head Island, SC to be the setting for their seasonal getaways.

The breathtaking beaches, expansive golf courses, coastal dining, and elaborate resorts draw vacationers from all over the world. No matter what your reason for choosing Hilton Head Island, you will find that the area caters to everyone's shopping needs.

Hilton Head Island has two main shopping districts, The Shelter Cove Marina and the South Beach Marina. These Mediterranean and New England style villages boast a multitude of stores, offering visitors an array of souvenir shops, clothing boutiques, specialty stores, and nautical-themed merchandise shops. Each village also is situated on a marina, where fishing and sailboats glide in and out of the ports all day long. A shopping trip to one of these villages is perfect for the whole family. Kids can eat ice cream and watch the boats while parents can window shop and enjoy the laid back southern setting.

If you are planning to visit before the kids go back to school, the Tanger Outlet Center and the Shopping Mall at Shelter Cove are the perfect places to get your back-to-school shopping done. Every year, South Carolina has a Tax Free Weekend. Be sure to check with the area Chamber of Commerce or Visitors Bureau to see which weekend it falls on before your plan your back to school trip. If you combined the savings from shopping at the factory direct outlet stores and the money you save while not paying tax, you could take your family out for some extra fun in the sun!
