Alder Lane Beach Access - Just follow the bike path toward the beach and within 5 minutes you'll have your toes in the sand. Includes restrooms, outdoor showers, chair and umbrella rental, and (seasonal) life guards. Easy access to Loggerhead Landing (see above)
Lowcountry Celebration Park - This park is perfect for families. An adventure playground with a ship theme, lighted walking trail, 2 fitness stations, free Wi-Fi, restrooms, and beach parking (still free). Plus, the Children's Museum (see below). Open sunrise to sunset the park is a great place to do something other than the beach.
Island Winery - RIght next to HHI Brewery, this wine tasting location offers places to enjoy their wine and sales of bottles as well as the usual tasting options.
Hilton Head Distillery - HHI's only distillery. On-site tasting tours and cocktail classes. Enjoy their offerings at the cocktail bar.
Carolina Tasting Room - Looking for great local wines but want to make sure you'll like the one you get? Then this place is for you! Conveniently located in Coligny Plaza (in case you need to walk home), they offer 6 tastings for $3, to go cups of wine, draft beer, and wine smoothies. We like: anything from Biltmore Estates, the Sea Island Wine-Dry White.
Wheelz Bikes - We rent our bikes from here thanks to their great pick up and drop off service. Their website makes it easy to do and their fees are reasonable. For a 10% discount use our personal code "WAC410" when checking out.
Island Life Bike Rentals - Just steps down the bike path in the Grand Hilton, this local bike rental has all the equipment you need to take advantage of Hilton Head Island's Gold rating as a"Bike Friendly Community".
May River Excursions - Do you want to go fishing, shrimping or crabbing? Or perhaps you want a dolphin tour? River trips, shark tooth hunting, May River Excursions handles it all. Private or group, fully covered cruises around Hilton Head Island. Run by a local who knows the area and can find an adventure for anyone.
Tai Chi Massage - Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this place has the best massages you will ever receive and their prices can't be beat! Just down William Hilton Pkwy from the Wal-Mart (below), make a reservation and enjoy!
Namaste Spa - This is right across the street inside the Marriott. It's much more upscale than Tai Chi (above), but you'll pay for that and, honestly, the massage probably won't be as good. But it is close, and definitely more romantic.
