Hilton Head Island Spring Break – The Peak Season is Upon Us

Last week, there were are as many, if not more, people on Hilton Head Island as July 4th week of last year. Over 69,614 vehicles crossed the bridge onto the island last Wednesday – the highest since May 26, 2017 when there were 70,576. All of this means one thing – the peak season is upon us!

The peak season is what we wait for all year. Don’t get me wrong – every season in Hilton Head has a LOT going for it, from the calm of the fall to the bustle of the spring. But, there’s something about the buzz in the air that comes with the family fun that inhabits Hilton Head from April through August that gives the entire island a special feel.

Heritage History

Hilton Head Island has been home to the RBC Heritage since 1969, when island founder Charles Fraser was looking for a way to market the course and invited the best players in the world to come and participate in the tournament. There is a ton of history behind the tournament that weaves directly into the foundation of Hilton Head and what makes the Lowcountry the place it is.

For over 45 years, Coastal Restaurants and Bars (CRAB) has been a staple of the Hilton Head Island culinary community for locals and tourists alike. Opening their first restaurant in 1973, a German restaurant that called the island home for 30 years, Peter and Mary Ellen Kenneweg established the Coastal Restaurant and Bar Group that currently operates eight restaurants on the island. It’s safe to say between those eight, there is something to touch every local as well as every tourist and help create vacations the way they were meant to be on Hilton Head Island.

Not only do CRAB’s restaurants make up some of the most popular places to eat on the island, but since their founding each new excursion has been a family affair. Check out some of the history behind these places you probably already know and love, and make sure to mark them on your list for next time you’re in Hilton Head!
