Special Cobia Meeting By The Hilton Head Island Sportfishing Club, March 14

SHELTER COVE PIER

Plans to bring an overlook pier to Shelter Cove Community Park are still in the permitting stage but, if granted by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, the project may move forward by the end of this year or in early-2017. The width and length of the pier are dictated by state regulations; the cost is estimated at $800,000, with $400,000 already budgeted.  If approved, the Town of Hilton Head must come up with the additional $400,000.

Hilton Head Happenings & Events

Life on Hilton Head Island is more 12 miles of sandy Atlantic shoreline, 24 world-class golf courses, 250+ restaurants, 350 tennis courts, kayaking the pristine waterways that surround and meander through the island, cycling our 60+ miles of trails, exploring, hiking, fabulous shopping, building sandcastles and relaxing.
