Trip ideas while visiting Hilton Head in South Carolina
Escape the crowded Coligny Beach Park and head to Driessen Beach Park. Tucked away in a wooded area on the northeastern end of the island, Driessen offers a spacious shoreline that seems to go on forever. Even if it’s busy, you’ll still find plenty of room to relax on the sandy beach. Don’t worry about missing out on amenities either, because Driessen has everything you need. There are restrooms, outdoor showers, a picnic pavilion, a playground, grills, bike racks, and lifeguards during the summer. And if you’re feeling hungry or thirsty, you can easily find a restaurant in one of the nearby resorts.
Driessen Beach is a popular choice for those seeking a less crowded alternative to Coligny Beach Park. However, it is advisable to arrive early to secure a good spot on the sand. Visitors have praised the well-maintained facilities and affordable parking rates. Just be aware that the wooden boardwalk leading from the parking area to the beach is quite long, so if you have a lot of beach gear, it would be helpful to have someone lend you a hand.
