Welcome to Hilton Head Island Beach and Tennis Resort!

Every year, when my children were little, we came to the Harbour Town Playground for some of our fondest memories. We got many of our favorite summer photos here! The playground is heavily shaded and has climbing trees and a treehouse for the kids to enjoy. Harbour Town is in the Sea Pines Resort, which does charge a $9 per vehicle fee, but it is well worth it to explore not only the playground, but also the whole Harbour Town area.

A great rainy day activity on Hilton Head Island for keeping the younger kids entertained. The Sandbox Interactive Children’s Museum has eleven hands-on, interactive displays that are suitable for children aged 8 or younger. The Sandbox isn’t a ‘museum’ per se.  Rather, it’s an activity house with some great rooms that have varied activities for children to do. 

Another popular mini-golf destination on Hilton Head Island is Pirate's Island Golf Adventure. Families will have fun exploring the two beautifully landscaped courses as they stroll across bridges, over streams, and past waterfalls to discover pirate treasures.
