We just got back from 10 days at HHI. The weather the first couple of days was ok, then we had overcast, rain and a visit from tropical storm Tammy (approx. 8.35 inches in one day). We always like visiting this island, walking the beaches, kayaking, just relaxing & yes eating. We ate at Kingfisher & Parrot's Cove at Shelter Cove, Sticky Fingers, DelVecchio's, Charley's Crab, Smokehouse BBQ (2x's), One Hot Mama's BBQ, Salty Dog and even an Original Pancake House. One place that we did not care for was Guisseppi's at Sea Pines (the other at Selter Cove is always good). We enjoyed kayaking through Outdoor Hilton Head in Broad Creek (can make reservations in their store next to Piggly Wiggly at Shelter Cove - make sure you obtain $15 off each reservation). We stayed at DVC for 5 nights then visited the Sea Pines area for the first time. On bike rides within the Sea Pines area we saw alligators and turtles that we never saw in the marsh area. Many douphins were seen in the South Beach area. Just a note, we were able to get into our room at DVC at 10:00 am (first time that ever happened).
