Fall Boating on Hilton Head Island
For boaters, fall can be one of the best seasons to visit Hilton Head. Warm South Carolina weather often continues well beyond summer, while cooler mornings and lower humidity make days on the water especially enjoyable. Palmetto Bay Marina welcomes transient boaters looking for a convenient place to dock, explore Hilton Head Island, or spend a few days along the South Carolina coast.
Located just a half-mile from the Intracoastal Waterway, the marina offers convenient access to Broad Creek and the surrounding Lowcountry waterways.
Palmetto Bay Marina also offers transient dockage and marina amenities designed to make arriving by boat simple and comfortable.
Get Outside with Nature This Fall
Fishing, Dolphin Tours, Kayaking and Boating
You don't have to own a boat to experience Hilton Head from the water.
Palmetto Bay Marina is home to a variety of ways to get outside and explore the Lowcountry, including inshore and offshore fishing charters, dolphin and wildlife tours, kayaking, boating, and personal watercraft.
Fall's comfortable temperatures make it an especially good time for families, couples, and groups to spend a few hours exploring Broad Creek and the surrounding waterways. Keep an eye out for dolphins, birds, and other Lowcountry wildlife along the way.
For visitors who want more time behind the wheel, boat rentals and boating options provide another way to create your own day on the water.
Oyster season has arrived in the Lowcountry
Fresh, local oysters are available daily at Black Marlin and Carolina Crab Company, served cold, freshly shucked, and ready for a squeeze of lemon. Grab a seat, order a dozen, and enjoy one of the best flavors of the season right here by the water.
Parking is always free; there's no gate fee, and pets are welcome, making it easy to stop by for an hour or make a day of it.
