Getting to Hilton Head Island

Paradise doesn’t have to be so far away.

There are many options for getting to Hilton Head Island by car, plane and train.

If you are close enough to drive, Hilton Head is easily accessible by I-95’s South Carolina Exit 8. You’ll head down 278 through Bluffton passing a multitude of shopping options at Tanger Outlets such as Coach, Michael Kors and J. Crew. Once on the island, take your time on William Hilton Parkway or pay a small toll to take the Cross Island Parkway to travel more quickly to the southeastern part of the island (including Coligny Plaza and the Sea Pines Resort).

If traveling by plane is more your speed, you’ll enjoy the flexibility in traveling to either Savannah Hilton Head International (SAV) or Hilton Head Island Airport (HHH).

Whichever way you chose to make it to the island, nothing will beat dipping your toes in the Atlantic Ocean, sampling wine at the Hilton Head Island Wine and Food Festival, or shopping the day away at one of Hilton Head’s finest stores.
