Maybe you have only visited the beaches at Coligny during a vacation. Or maybe you skip down a path of Palmetto Dunes to the grand beaches there. You may not realize all Hilton Head Beaches are public. It’s only the access to the beaches that may be private. But Hilton Head has created a number of great beach access parks available to visitors and residents alike.
The Town of Hilton Head Island provides beach accesses at the following locations:
Parking & Facilities
There are 23 metered spaces at Alder Lane; 54 metered spaces at Folly Field and 13 metered spaces at Burkes Beach Road. The parking fee for metered spaces is a quarter for each fifteen minutes.
Additionally, there are 207 spaces at Driessen Beach Park for long term parking. The fee is a quarter for each thirty minutes during the week.
Parking spaces at Islanders Beach Park are always reserved for annual beach passes. Parking at Driessen Beach Parks for annual beach passes is reserved from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Parking is free at Fish Haul Park, Mitchelville Park and Coligny Beach Park. Handicap parking is available at no fee at all beach parks.
Designated Swimming Areas

During the beach season lifeguards are stationed in each of the designated swimming areas and other heavily populated beach areas for assistance and beach information. Please ask a lifeguard before entering the water if the yellow caution flag is flying.

If you want to make a little piece of The Island your own, you need more than just a road map and a REALTOR. You need a partner who can make things happen.
