Latest reviews on Palmetto Dunes's beaches

Islanders beach

10 Sailors' Delight

This beach is a true treasure, perfect for those who visit annually, quarterly, monthly, or call it home. While parking is metered and limited, if you have a local pass or are staying at a resort, you'll have no trouble finding a spot. We often visit in the morning and have always found ample parking. The mix of locals and tourists, along with the community of dog walkers, makes for a lively atmosphere. The breathtaking views and easily accessible paths, with a hard surface covering the sand, make it ideal for kids, the elderly, and those with wheelchairs. The facilities are top-notch, and the bathrooms and showers are kept immaculately clean.

Burkes beach

10 Chet Portilla

The beach area is a serene and tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. Unlike other beaches in Hilton Head, this hidden gem is less crowded, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. The walk from the parking lot to the beach houses and restrooms is a sight to behold, with fascinating sights to see along the way. I had a fantastic time here and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful beach experience.

Coligny beach Park

10 Nico Valtieri

This beach offers breathtaking views of the sunrise. The water entry is smooth and gradual, which makes it perfect for playing, but not ideal for boogie boarding or shell hunting. There's plenty of free parking, and amenities such as showers, bathrooms, changing rooms, and seating are available. Additionally, there are nearby shopping and dining options, including live bands for entertainment. For those who want to relax in style, blue umbrellas with two chairs can be rented from the beach patrol for around $40 per day from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. However, visitors should be cautious of stingrays, as they can be found in the area.
