When to Go to Hilton Head
Thanks to its Southern coastal location, it is hard to find a bad time to visit Hilton Head. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the water is warm year-round, and the sole period of risky weather is in the spring, when golf outings could get rained out. Tourists flood the town in the summer, and many people also travel to Hilton Head for major holidays throughout the year.
