Wildlife in Hilton Head

Hilton Head Island is full of natural inhabitants that are enjoyable to observe.
Bird Watching
Bird watchers love Hilton Head. There are inshore and offshore birds to watch. Shorebirds are fun to watch while they hunt for fish with their skinny legs and long beaks. Brown pelican, egret, ibis, wood storks, and osprey can been seen on the shores and marshes.
Loggerhead Turtles
An endangered species, the endangered Loggerhead Turtle is present in Hilton Head and begins its life buried in the sand as a young hatch ling. The mother deposits 50-150 eggs in a nest in the sand then she journeys back into the ocean leaving the eggs to hatch. The newborn turtles will also escape to the ocean for safety. The turtles can grow to be 350lbs and have the capability to swim up to about 25 miles per hour. The Loggerhead Turtle also has the strongest beak of all Atlantic sea turtles.
Naturally, there are strict laws that protect the turtles. If you find a nest, you should call the local authorities at (843-785-3818). Be sure to not disturb them since heavy fines can be imposed. Many citizens on Hilton Head Island and the Lowcountry devote themselves to the safety of these sea creatures. More about Loggerhead Sea Turtles
Loggerhead Sea Turtles are federally protected and there are strict laws about feeding bottle nosed dolphins.
Bottle nosed Dolphins
Bottle Nosed Dolphins are extremely friendly and can be seen in many parts of Hilton Head Island. There are also many tours that will take you to feeding areas of the dolphins around Calibogue Sound and Broad Creek.
Dolphins are federally protected and there are strict laws about feeding bottle nosed dolphins.
Alligators
Golfers in Hilton Head occasionally cross paths with alligators. Alligators are prevalent in lagoons, ponds, and sometimes the beaches. Tourists and residents should be sure to keep a safe distance between themselves and the alligator(s)
The Fall and Spring are the best times to see alligators and they can grow to about 12 feet long. The sporadically leave the water to raise the temperature of their blood. It is illegal to feed alligators since they can be quite dangerous especially if they feel provoked by an aggressor.
The wildlife in Hilton Head is extremely beautiful so please respect our natural inhabitants.

Our Experience at Lawton Stables...We had a good time riding the horses at Lawton Stables. I rode a horse named Fire, while my wife - Melissa- rode Benny. Fire seemed to have a slight attitude with me in the beginning but he still cooperated for a nice ride. The guide led us past plenty of wildlife throughout Sea Pines. We passed by Lake Thomas and Lake Joe, saw many birds and even two alligators (one extremely large!). They offered us skin-so-soft which did an excellent job repelling the mosquitoes. $50 per person - worth the money - especially if you have never ridden before.
Sea Horse Farms
Sea Horse Farms also offers trail rides, including beach segments for those eight years old or more (250 Lb. maximum). They also offer pony rides geared to kids birthday parties, with the ponies rented by the hour. Off of Beach City Road 843-681-7746

Hunting Island Lighthouse

Hunting Island Lighthouse
16 miles east of Beaufort SC, lies Hunting island State Park and its Hunting island Tower. This tower warned boats away from shallow water and was used as a mapping point between Savannah and Charleston. This lighthouse stands tall at a demanding 132.5 feet.
This tower was specifically built for portability framed with long cast iron sections and bricks. Because of erosion, the lighthouse has been moved. In 1889 heavy beach erosion forced the lighthouse be moved 1.3 miles from its original location. Currently, the island faces heavy erosion that is greatly noticeable even in the last decade.
Along with the Lighthouse, Hunting Island also offers much more like wildlife photo opportunities, crabbing, great sunsets, beach rentals, campground, and much more. Most beach houses are reserved a year in advance.
The marshes here have been used in movies such as Forrest Gump and G.I.Jane.

When Sea Pines founder, Charles Fraser, built the red-and-white striped Harbor Town Lighthouse Hilton Head skeptics thought he was a bit out of his mind. Fortunately, the man had great foresight turning it into one of the most popular landmarks in Hilton Head. The lighthouse is classified as a facsimile lighthouse and is modeled after a a lighthouse in Lancastershire, England.
The tower climbs 90 feet and there are stops within the stairway that displays historic events of Hilton Head, including the construction of the lighthouse itself. There is also a webcam at the top so you can wave to friends at home.
The lighthouse is open seven days a week and carried a $1.50 entry fee. (Sea Pines has $5 entry fee) There are two more lighthouses nearby (within Hilton Head) like the haig point Lighthouse on Daufuskie island and the Hilton Head Range Rear lighthouse in Leamington of Palmetto Dunes.

Dolphin Tours can be loads of fun. Imagine a pod of dolphins as your traveling companions while sailing around Hilton Head. Experience dolphins, not in tanks - but where they live in the wild. Watch dolphin behaviors that can be seen in only very few places worldwide. Dolphins are not only beautiful and fun to watch, they are an important part of a very complex and fragile ecosystem.

Dolphin Fun Facts
Majority of small toothed whales are called dolphins.
A dolphin's dorsal fin is as distinctive as a person's face.
Dolphin's ancestors once lived on land and looked similar to wolves, although they were more closely related to cows.
Killer and pilot whales are considered dolphins.
At first glance, a dolphin's dorsal fin somewhat resembles a shark and has sometimes caused false alarms at beaches.
Dolphins seem to have been blessed with a well-developed sense of humor. Dolphins have been known to silently maneuver behind an unsuspecting pelican and snatch its tail feathers -- usually leaving the bird minus a few.
It has been suggested that the reason dolphins always seem to be grinning is that they understand our language and are patiently waiting for us to learn theirs.

Alligators in Hilton Head and Sun City

Alligators are perhaps our best known wildlife. For the most part they live in the many lagoons throughout Hilton Head. Alligators are cold-blooded (they have no mechanism to regulate body temperature) so they rely on their environment to survive. During colder weather alligators will come out of their lagoons and lie on the banks in the sun to raise their body temperature. In warmer weather they stay in the water to stay relatively cool. This means the best time to see alligators is in the spring and fall, but exceptions are common. If a lot of rain has lowered the water temperature in the lagoons, the alligators will come out to sun themselves. It also seems sometimes they come out of the water just because they feel like it, for example, on a cloudy day. In Winter (October to March) alligators hibernate, so are rarely seen.
Alligators in Hilton Head can grow to about 12 feet in length. Those larger than that are generally "removed" because they scare people. We locals have an arrangement with the alligators: we leave them alone and they leave us alone. You would be wise to honor that arrangement. Alligators are not normally aggressive toward humans but they are dangerous. An alligator can outrun a horse for a limited distance. Human adults are too big to be alligator prey, but small children and pets are vulnerable, and an angry alligator knows no fear and will go after anything that bothers it. Here are some rules to keep you out of harm's way:
A mother alligator protecting its nest is about the only circumstance an alligator will attack without provocation. This could occur in wooded or brushy areas near lagoons. Nesting is typically May through August, and the mother protects the hatchlings for one to three years.
Feeding alligators is illegal for a good reason. If an alligator sees humans as a source of food, it stands to reason it will approach humans. Alligators lack social skills - they won't ask nicely for a handout. To feed an alligator is to sign its death warrant, for it will become aggressive and will soon be "removed" (yes, killed).
Never let small children or pets play in lagoons or on the banks of lagoons. Alligators are so fast a pet can vanish before its owner can take a deep breath.
If you catch a fish in a lagoon and an alligator wants it, give it up. Reeling in the fish close to you is a very bad idea, as the alligator will see you as competition for food.
There have been very rare instances of alligators at the beaches in Hilton Head. Alligators can stand salt water but prefer fresh or brackish, so an alligator at the beach is out of its normal environment and probably lost. Just keep away from it - if possible report it.

Kayaking in Hilton Head Island is a great way to enjoy nature and get in some good exercise. No experience is needed - the kayak rental companies will teach you all you need to know. You need reasonable upper body strength and decent coordination. Life jackets are often required to be worn, (certainly non-swimmers must wear life jackets), and everyone should wear old clothes and foot covering that can get wet.
Hilton Head is the perfect place to go kayaking!

Crabbing in Hilton Head, South Carolina

Crabbing and Fishing can be entertaining for Hilton Head visitors, but take it to the next level with an outing of crabbing. Crabbing in Hilton Head will surely add some laughs with the entire family. All you need is a bucket, a crab net, a bail of sturdy strong, a sinker weight, and some chicken necks (found in the 101 Things To Do Booklet guide). Now you are ready to meet the Carolina Blue Crab.
Cut the line about ten to twelve feet, add a sinker, then a chicken neck for bait. Go to any crabbing site like a pier, sea wall, sea shore, or dock. Crabs will be closer to shore in murky water and a bit farther out in clear water. Tie the rope in a stick, leave the end with the chicken in the water, and patiently wait.
You'll see the crab nibbling on your line. Once he grabs, pull the line in with him on it and scoop him into the bucket. He must be five inches wide point to point to keep. A crab with an orange spongy belly is pregnant so let her loose. This process can be rather exciting. Keep the crabs wet and cold until you are ready to cook. Tongs may help you get them out of that bucket!
Cooking crab is easy. Throw the crab live into a pot of boiling water. They'll scream these really loud pitched cry, but don't worry about it (JUST KIDDING) Let him cook about fifteen minutes seasoned with lemon salt, and crab boil. When they are ready, they will be dark pinkish around the claws.
