Sea Pines resort is a must see for most visitors of Hilton Head Island. There are several areas to visit. The ride in is interesting as well. You have these huge trees hanging all over the roads, shading the homes. The golf courses are plentiful. You have the Salty Dog Cafe as well as the big lighthouse in Sea Pines. Both the Salty Dog Café and the Lighthouse are extremely crowded, so be ready to spend some time at both places. Remember to get a T-shirt at the Salty Dog Cafe., that is a must.
We ate at the Salty Dog. It is a nice experience. It wasn't as much fun as it could have been for us since it was raining. You do have to stand in line for quite a while to get in....not a big deal. There are areas to sit if you need to. The food was good. I sampled a bit of everything, chicken, crab legs, even filet mignon. It was very good. The kids enjoyed a magic show after we finished eating.You also have to get one of those T-shirts that everyone has. I will tell you though, that going into those little shops are a nightmare. You cannot move. They are just loaded with people and you think you are never going to get out!
Parking in Sea Pines public areas is all but impossible, but they provide free parking just inside the main gate and a free shuttle to Harbour Town, South Beach, Sea Pines Center, the Beach Club and other locations. It can be difficult at times. This year it took us forever to find a parking spot. The one we did find was quite a walk away from the lighthouse.
In the summer, most of the restaurants are really busy. So make sure and get reservations if you can. Also, some restaurants offer better deals earlier in the day. Actually, some restaurants offer some great deals earlier in the day. So if you want to save some money, try eating out earlier. I will say that it does seem that no matter how early you go, you will be standing in line. I suppose that is just part of the experience. It was no big deal to me.
