With wide, sandy beaches, gentle surf and endless outdoor activities, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is one of the top beach destinations for families. Hilton Head Island is fewer than 5 miles wide and only 12 miles long, but it packs a surprising amount of family fun into that small area. The first thing you'll notice about Hilton Head is that everything from the buildings to the signage to the mailboxes blends with its surroundings. Paired with the island's compact size and beautiful natural beaches, creeks and swamps, Hilton Head has a quaint, nostalgic feel that you don't often find in popular beach destinations.
