Did you know thereβs an island near Hilton Head that completely disappears beneath the tide every day? πποΈ
If youβre looking for the top Hilton Head water activities, boat tours, and things to do in Hilton Head on the water, a trip to Vanishing Island needs to be at the top of your list!
We headed out with Outside Hilton Head to experience this incredible tidal sandbar excursion.
At low tide, the water reveals a stretch of sand where you can walk along the ocean floor searching for sand dollars, shark teeth, shells, and other Lowcountry treasures.
Whether you're planning scenic Hilton Head island cruises, guided kayak adventures, or fun Hilton Head water sports, we trust Outside Brands. Their experienced captains and guides bring over 46 years of local expertise on these waters.
