Hilton Head...Is it worth it?

Just near the main beach access.

I love HH because it is very calming and quiet. Our kids have always enjoyed it but they love golfing, laying on the beach, swimming a bit or playing tennis. There isn't a huge night life. It definitely is "worth it" to me and I don't think it is any more or less expensive than other types of similar places.

We drove last year for spring break and saw tons of other cars driving down from the DC area. It was really crowded in the downtown but not bad farther out away from the main beach. I don’t know if it was worth the drive.

It’s an easy flight.

Hilton Head is very peaceful, but boring as hell for kids IMO

We don’t do long drives, so we would not drive that far unless it was for a move or any extremely long stay.

It is 8 1/2 to 9 hours. Not really a long drive especially with 2 adults. Or you can just fly there.

We got a cheap flight to Charleston and drove the rest of the way. I liked it because of the ease of biking and the water is calm and warm for swimming. We also kayaked. Agree that there’s not much going on and we weren’t impressed with the food options but if you want a relaxing beach vacation with warmer water than up here, I think it’s a good choice.

You can land right on the island from IAD and National. IF you book a couple weeks out it is typically around $220-275/pp RT.

I think it feels like there isn't much going on because of the architectural and signage restrictions. Because of this it isn't as in your face as other beach towns. But there is plenty to do.

We love Hilton Head, but for that mix of ages I’d recommend a Disney cruise. It’ll be far more relaxing and give everyone, including the adults and your teen, a variety of stuff to do both as a family and separately. They are divine.

For whatever reason when we booked it was well over 500/pp and the flight to savannah was only $120/pp. But that might not be typical.

Dot the flight 20-30 times a year rarely is it anywhere close to $500.
