If you find yourself on Hilton Head Island this holiday season, Coligny Plaza is one of the coziest and most festive spots to celebrate the holidays.
There’s a certain magic to the Lowcountry coastline—salt on the breeze, pluff mud in the air, and a soundtrack that drifts from beachside bars and summer festivals. That soundtrack, unmistakably smooth and nostalgic, is beach music. Not to be confused with surf rock or tropical party anthems, beach music is a uniquely Southern form of rhythm and blues that found its cultural home along the Carolina coast.
Looking for a fun way to spend the day with kids? There’s no better place in the Lowcountry than The Sandbox, an interactive children’s museum. Conveniently located at 80 Nassau Street, Hilton Head Island, SC, this interactive learning and playing space is open seven days a week (closed on major holidays), providing a safe, entertaining environment to exercise active imaginations and energy-charged little ones.
Looking for some tricks or treats? Here’s a little list of Halloween activities in the Lowcountry:

The Lowcountry is home to one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the Atlantic Coast, the ACE Basin. The name is derived from the combination of the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto Rivers. This unique estuarine system is home to an abundant array of maritime resources. The approximately 350,000 acres of varied environments support forested wetlands, fresh, brackish and salt water tidal marshes, barrier islands, beaches as well as pine and hardwood uplands. Both the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the US Forest and Wildlife Service manage parts of the ACE Basin.
The Lowcountry has a long, proud military heritage. A shining example of pride, patriotism, honor and courage was set by the men known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
