Hilton Head Island
 |
One of South Carolina's sea islands, Hilton Head Island encompasses 42 square miles off the southern part of the state. Sugar cane, indigo and cotton plantations thrived on the island until after the Civil War. Later, the lumber industry became important. “Hilton Head Island is a paradise for nature lovers.” Today, the island is home to the gullah people and a popular tourist destination. |
