Your Honey Moon in Hilton Head

By Chris Linch

Hilton Head Island is a popular destination for weddings and honeymoons because of its beautiful beaches and tropical climate (all year round). Besides playing golf on award winning golf courses you can take part in a wide variety of other activities. If you choose Hilton Head Island as your honeymoon destination you will be looking to stay in the right hotel on the island.

Are you planning to get married on Hilton Head Island? You will need to plan ahead and apply for a marriage license from Beaufort County. If you want to make your vows actually on the beach then you will also need to apply for a permit from the Town of Hilton Head.

Your hotel choice will be guided by the length of time you plan on staying on the island. You might decide to opt for a hotel with a kitchenette or full kitchen. You'll also need to take into account how you plan to spend your holiday; will you spend most of your time golfing or on the beach? Or are you looking for somewhere for a secluded, romantic break?

The expansion and growth of local lumber mills led to the building of the first bridge connecting Hilton Head Island to the mainland. Land developers and architects were drawn to the area and by the late'50's Hilton Head Island was established as a resort community. The Sea Pines resort (the first hotel on the island) is still in operation today. Soon other hotels and resorts were developed and people began flocking to the island for both vacations and honeymoons.

Those seeking a private island retreat for their honeymoon might consider Dafuskie Island. This nearby residential island has three golf courses and several resorts with all the attractions of Hilton Head Island just a ferry ride away. To add to your honeymoon options, many Hilton Head hotels offer packages in conjunction with Dafuskie Island.

Remember, your honeymoon should be unforgettable; a once in a lifetime experience. It really does make sense to be organised and plan ahead. You will want to reserve your accommdation well in advance; this is even more important if your honeymoon on the island coincides with peak tourist seadon. You may find a local wedding planner an invaluable resource if you are looking for a combination wedding/honeymoon package. If you are looking for the best honeymoon package alone then you will find many online resources and websites to help you choose the perfect Hilton Head hotel. With a little research and a little planning you can relax, knowing that you are well on your way to a perfect honeymoon. - 30214
