HILTON HEAD, S.C (WTOC) - All throughout the summer, tourists have been braving the heat on Hilton Head Island bringing their families and dollars into the local economy. Hilton Head areas, like at Shelter Cove, have small businesses that thrive on summer tourist season. It's not something that ends until after Labor Day, but in August it does slow down a bit thanks to back to school. 'People are always surprised by that. As local South Carolina students are headed back to school, some of our regionals are heading back to school, we take a slight dip in August and then we pick right back up with Labor Day,' Charlie Clark said.
