... where there are almost as many bike paths as there are roads, guiding locals and visitors alike under canopies of trees to shady

retreats, parks and beaches all over the island. And that’s just the beginning.

With school out and summer finally here, June is the perfect time to try some adventurous activities with your friends and family. Whether it’s parasailing or paddle boarding, testing out a new electric bike, going on a fishing charter or moonlight kayaking tour, there’s bound to be something new for you to try.

But it doesn’t all have to be a rush! Be sure to relax on Hilton Head Island’s sandy shores, dine out at some of the beachfront restaurants and enjoy a sunset boat cruise. Or you can ride around Hilton Head Island at your leisure, exploring the bike paths that run on bridges over marshes and under majestic live oak trees.

June is one of the most exciting months on the island with all kinds of activities and special events going on every evening. HarbourFest finally returns to Shelter Cove Harbour and Summer Jams kicks off in the Shelter Cove Community Park. From outdoor concerts, fireworks and festivals to a special summer production of Big Fish the musical by the SSTI, there is bound to be some-thing to please everyone. Be sure to check out our Calendar of Events to find out what you want to do this month!

In this issue of Island Events, discover what makes dolphins delicate with Jessie Renew and find out why cobia are so curious with Captain Miles Altman. But it’s not all about the underwater life in this issue. Kathleen McMenamin tells us a little bit about the “yellow crowns” spotted around marshes and up in the trees at the Sea Pines Forest Reserve, while Doug Weaver lets us know about some family golf activities at Palmetto Dunes and Georgene Mortimer explains how to pair different styles of barbeque with wine.

We hope all of our listings are helpful in guiding you to some of the very best that the island has to offer. As always, the best of the Lowcountry and the Coastal Empire is just a click away at hiltonhead.com, hiltonheadisland.com, bluffton.com, savannah.com, stsimonsisland.com and beaufort.com. It’s there you’ll find digital copies of all of our publications as well as a wealth of information about what to do while you’re here.

All of our websites are accessible via smartphone, so you can find the best shops, restaurants and activities no matter where you are.

Welcome to Hilton Head Island. We hope you enjoy your time here and come back to see us soon!

June HighlightsThe summer season has arrived, and with another hectic school year behind us, now is the time to say goodbye to in-school and after-school activities and say hello to relaxation and fun with family and friends. Relaxation is easy to find here on the Island. Just walk down to the beach in the morning and sit quietly soaking up the natural beauty while listening to the kids playing in the sand, watching the birds searching for a tasty morsel or a shrimp boat off in the distance pulling their nets behind. Fun is easy here on the Island, too. In addition to the cool water sports and amazing golf and tennis there is merriment to be enjoyed each evening as well. So, grab the family and friends, head out to South Beach, Harbour Town, Shelter Cove, Coligny Plaza or anywhere in between and enjoy a nice meal and the fun will be right around the corner.

Cork poppin’ good:A guide to pairing wine with BBQ

Are you going out for barbeque tonight and thinking about washing it down with an ice-cold beer? Well, think again, because wine is also fantastic with barbeque. Depending on which famous barbeque region you’re from, you may argue that your hometown barbeque style is the only real style. But on Hilton Head Island, we serve all regional styles, so check out this guide to see which wine will go best with the different sauces.

Eastern North Carolina Style sauce has a vinegar base, sugar and is loaded with pepper. This thin sauce is the most acidic of all barbeque styles and needs some sweetness to balance it out. Just like a big cold sweet tea would do the trick, so would a sweet Riesling, preferably from a warm climate such as California.

Western North Carolina Style sauce basi-cally is an eastern style sauce with ketchup and more sugar. Since there is enough sweetness in the sauce to balance out the acid, there is no need for a real sweet wine. Petite Sirah’s subtle tannins and high acidity compliments without overpow-ering the delicate taste of the pork.

South Carolina Style sauce is unique because it has a mustard base. Despite the honey or brown sugar that is added, it should

not be mistaken for honey mustard; it is hotter and contains spices such as Worchester sauce, garlic and cayenne pepper. This unique blend of sweet-ness and spice requires a wine that is intense, slightly sweet and acidic. A big Zin or Shiraz is the perfect red wine companion and a spicy, floral Gewürztraminer is the perfect white wine.

Memphis Style ribs are heavily seasoned with a dry rub made of brown sugar, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Sauce is served on the side, used as an accent and not slathered over the ribs, so a wine that will compliment the heavy spice in the rub is ideal. A cool climate Merlot or a Pinot Noir will achieve this with their light body and powerful fruity flavors.

Kansas City Style sauce is the style of sauce that is familiar to most of us. It is thick, fruity and applied generously to smoky pork. The heavy sweetness of the sauce needs a big assertive red wine. A California Cabernet or a Spanish Tempranillo has the ripe fruit, boldness and spice to contrast with the heavy sweetness of the ribs.

Of course, you could also fire up your own backyard smoker and get creative. On a hot summer day an ice cold pitcher of Sangria will be the perfect companion to all barbecue styles. You can use either a red or white wine base or choose a Specialty Wine at the Island Winery as your base. Served chilled, our Sangria Style Southern Passion is delicious.

The perfect bottle of wine awaits at Island Winery on Cardinal Road. Store and tasting hours are Monday-Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wine Flights and Cheese are available from Monday-Friday, 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. A Wine & Cheese Happy Hour is offered Monday-Friday starting at 4 p.m. (843) 842-3141 or islandwinery.com.

Visit the King Neptune Statue at Shelter Cove Harbour

The towering 12-foot bronze statue of Neptune, which doubles as a larger-than-life sundial, serves as an iconic symbol of Shelter Cove Harbour at Palmetto Dunes, welcoming visitors to the entrance of the popular waterfront dining and shopping location.

Designed and installed by sculptor Wayne Edwards, this much-loved statue serves as a tribute to Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. The King Neptune statue, which depicts a bearded Neptune holding his signature trident, serves as a popular centerpiece at Shelter Cove Harbour. The statue is strategically mounted on a circular base with numbers around the edge.

When the trident’s shadow falls across the 26-foot wide base, the numbers indicate the pre cise time. Hailed as the world’s largest figurative sundi al, the statue was origi nally cast at a foundry in Princeton, New Jersey and shipped by truck to Hilton Head Island in 1983. Engineers made meticulous measure-ments before the one-ton statue was installed,

ensuring that it would be located at the ideal angle to indicate the time.

They oriented the sculpture towards true south by aligning the constellation Ursa Major with the North Star.

An official dedication for the statue was held at Shelter Cove Harbour on August 11, 1983, attracting residents and visitors alike. Today, the King Neptune statue delights gen-erations of visitors to Shelter Cove Harbour, impressing adults and children of all ages. Stop by to see King Neptune in person and to expe rience a true Hilton Head Island icon.

This much-loved statue serves as a tribute to Neptune, the Roman god of the sea.

Harbour Town Lighthouse

Rising 93 feet above the Calibogue Sound and framing the 18th hole of the Harbour Town Golf Links...

The Harbour Town Lighthouse, which was com-pleted in 1970, was the first privately-financed lighthouse built since the early 1800s.

Nicknamed “Fraser’s Folly,“ Charles Fraser, the visionary developer of The Sea Pines Resort, believed a distinctive landmark, along with a pro fessional golf tournament, would arouse interest in the fledgling seaside community.

As usual, Fraser was right, and today the candy-striped, hexagonal structure has become synonymous with Hilton Head Island.

Rising 93 feet above the Calibogue Sound and framing the 18th hole of the Harbour Town Golf Links, the red-and-white striped lighthouse guides golfers off the tee. The back drop for one of golf’s most picturesque fin ish ing holes, #18 was once part of the $1 million Kodak Challenge, a cele bra tion of “the beautiful holes and mem orable moments in golf.”

Panoramic views of the Harbour Town Yacht Basin and Golf Links, the Liberty Oak, the Calibogue Sound and Daufuskie Island, are just one reason to climb the 114 stairs to the top of the lighthouse. Along the way, the Harbour Town Lighthouse Museum offers a

self-guided “climb through time” with displays and artifacts showcas ing vari-ous stages of Hilton Head history.

Offering a unique, “elevated” shopping experience, The Top of the Lighthouse Shop fea tures over 2,000 items, including Crystal World light house figurines, Harbour Lights collectibles, Christmas orna ments, Annaleece high quality fashion jewelry, Trollbeads and local art and photography.

While enjoying the view, wave to family and friends via the webcam or visit harbourtownlighthouse.com to zoom in on the yacht basin, the 18th hole of the Harbour Town Golf Links or the Liberty Oak, where family favorite Gregg Russell has entertained generations of visitors for more than three decades during the summer.

The Island’s best-known land mark is also avail-able for special events, including mem o rable weddings, intimate parties and corporate functions. Call for details and reservations.

The Harbour Town Lighthouse is open 7 days a week from 10 a.m.-Sundown. Admission is $4 per person, free for ages 5 and under. Accommo dat ing up to 40 people, the lighthouse may also be re served for private parties and func tions. (843) 671-2810, (866) 305-9814 or harbourtownlighthouse.com.

Unlike most vacation outfits that only last as long as, well, the vacation, Hilton Head Style, with its bright colors, bold patterns and neatly tailored silhouettes, can work for anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s a style that was meant to be combined and transformed to fit almost any occasion and forecast.

With a cross between island colors, bold patterns and southern flair, Hilton Head Style emits its own quiet, casual elegance that can be appropriate for work, play and spe-cial occasions. Since the island is home to so many fun activities, sports and festivals, hav-ing a style that can easily transfer from one event to the next is an essential part of life. One day you may be going from work to a play, or from the beach to a sporting event and you don’t have time to change. Hilton Head Style is all about convenience and look-ing good while doing it. When it comes to dressing on Hilton Head, being comfortable and good looking aren’t mutually exclusive. Hilton Head Style is aimed to keep you cool in the hot, muggy weather while still maintain-ing a stylish exterior.

Many people tend to stray from color, being afraid it may show sweat, but Southerners know that color is your best weapon in the summertime. Not only do bright and bold col-ors keep you cool, but they also won’t absorb the sunlight or reflect it like black and white clothing. It’s also super cute. Light neutrals are appropriate for every event and look great on everyone – every age, height, weight and skin tone. Not to mention with the warm cli-mate you’ll want lighter colors to help keep you cooler during the daytime. Plus, they pro-vide a classy and sophisticated look.

In addition to color, fabric is also an import-ant factor in Hilton Head Style. Light linens

and cottons are most commonly used for tops and bottoms. Some stretch cotton fab-ric blends are also used, but they aren’t as breathable as linen and also not as versatile. Jeans are always popu-lar, but sometimes not appropriate.

The most essential part of Hilton Head Style really comes down to the accessories. Southern women are known for dressing to the nines just to run quick errands, so of course accessories would be a huge part of Hilton Head Style. Chunky necklaces are a big favorite among islanders. They go with almost every neckline imaginable while still making a statement and adding a pop of color and shine to any outfit.

It’s not just one store that captures the style of Hilton Head, so be sure to shop around while you’re here. Find a bold top, statement neck-lace, some casual capris and a bright dress, and take the versatile Hilton Head Style home with you.


Bright. Beachy. Eclectic. Exquisite. That’s just the beginning of the statement-making styles on the Island.

On June 17 through July 26, the Broadway smash hit, “Xanadu,” is on stage at The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina. A hilariously rein-vented send-up of the Olivia Newton-John film, this irrever-ent musical adventure, about following your dreams, spins along to the addictive original hit film score of chart-topping tunes. “Xanadu” follows the beautiful Greek muse, Kira, as she tries to coax an unin-spired artist, Sonny, to build the first roller disco. When she accidentally falls in love with him, much to her jealous sister-muses' dismay, chaos and fun abound, skate wheels turn and disco balls twirl. This delightful fun-for-the-whole-fam-ily show earned an Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical and was nominated for Tony Awards’ Best Musical and Best Book. $45, adults; $31, ages 4-15. 14 Shelter Cove Lane.

“Look at those sharks!” is something that every charter boat captain has heard more than once while fishing the local waters in spring. And usually, it’s not sharks people are seeing, but large cobia, a much sought after game fish in these parts.

Cobia have a natural affinity to floating objects – buoys and boats being some of their favorites. One of the most exciting things about cobia fishing is that you never know when one (or several) will pop up next to the boat. These constantly curious cobia will even follow sharks and other large fish to the surface when anglers reel them up.

May through the middle of June is a much-anticipated time for local anglers, as it is prime cobia fishing. They can weigh upwards to 100 pounds, but the more common size caught in our waters is 40 to 60 pounds. But even with the smaller cobia, you can be assured a classic battle. These brown bruisers can tax even heavier tackle and, if brought in the boat too soon, can cause havoc in the boat, often

breaking things and bruising anglers.

The word cobia translates “crab eater” and many that I have caught have tons of calico crabs in their stomach. Most are sought using live menhaden, mullet, whiting and

pinfish. Live eels are also popular, but difficult to handle. Heavy jigs and plugs also work well. One of the more frustrating aspects of cobia fishing is that they can be extremely finicky. This season seems to have a crop of extremely finicky fish as many anglers have complained of seeing numerous fish that had lockjaw. Conversely, when feeding they seem to smash anything in front of them.

One of the best angling experiences the Lowcountry has to offer, cobia fishing is going off hot now. If you have never been, the time is right.

See you there!

Captain Miles Altman of Bayrunner Fishing Charters has more than 42 years of experi-ence fishing the waters surrounding Hilton Head Island. Don’t miss the new “Finatic” boat, which can accommodate up to 12 passengers and features a special three-hour shark/dol-phin eco-tour trip. Contact Miles at (843) 290-6955 to book an unforgettable inshore or offshore charter fishing trip, departing from Shelter Cove Marina.

Yellow Crowned Night Herons

Yellow Crowned Night Herons are a common sight during Hilton Head summers. These beautiful birds can be found during the day or night, foraging in a number of different Lowcountry habitats. Keep an eye out along our local canals, nests can be found in trees overhanging the water.

Yellow Crowned Night Herons, Nyctanassa viola-cea, are medium-sized stocky herons that grow to be just over two feet tall. Mature adults have a black face and bill with white cheeks, and gray bodies with long yellow legs. The easiest way to identify them is by their yellow crest, found on the top of their head. Immature herons are common these times of the year, as young are preparing to fledge the nest. The young are brown with white spots all over and have a black beak and yellow legs.

These birds live in diverse habitats – from marshes and mangrove swamps to wooded forests, lakes and rivers. They can be found throughout the Southern United States, spread all the way to the Great Lakes in small numbers. They are even occasionally found in the Caribbean. Hilton Head offers them a diverse environment rich with food and nesting habitats. Yellow crowns can be found foraging in the marshes or along freshwater canals. The Sea Pines Forest Preserve is a great place to see them nesting.

The shallow waters of our area provide a great variety of food for the yellow crowns. They predominantly stalk our marshes for crustaceans. Insects, small fish and even small reptiles diversify their diet. Yellow crowns stalk their food by standing very still or slowly walking up and down a bank. Once prey has been spotted they will strike with their bill. Small prey will be swallowed hole, while larger prey may be shak-en until they break apart, crushed or speared by

the beak. But yellow crowns are solitary creatures and prefer to forage alone.

They tend to be monogamous and nest in the same area year after year. Nesting begins in April and continues through June. Courtship is a series of neck stretches and flashes of their golden crest to each other. Once the pair has bonded, the female will choose a spot over the water, usually in a wax myrtle tree, to nest while the male gathers branches. Once the base nest has been created, the pair works together to finish the nest. They will collect dead branches off of trees as opposed to picking them up from the ground. They will finish the nest by lining it with Spanish moss and the female will lay two to six eggs, once a year. Incubation of the eggs lasts about 25 days and the young will stay in and around the nest for up to 35 days. Although these birds are more solitary than other herons, they have been observed nesting in small colonies.

Yellow Crowned Night Herons are a species of concern for the state of South Carolina.

Maintaining their habitat is the prime way to help increase their population. Historically, they were over hunted for their plumage and as food resources. Today they are protected, as well as land across the south east being preserved in order to increase their numbers. Yellow crowns have also been a great benefit to Bermuda. The bird was introduced in order to help maintain the ground crab populations. So far their introduction has been a great success.

The H2O Nature Center is a great place to spark curiosity and inspire learning in all ages, offering eco adventure tours and a live alligator exhibit.

Delicate Dolphins

Hilton Head is famous for its year-round popula-tion of dolphin. While most groups of these mammals migrate sea-sonally, Lowcountry dolphins enjoy the mild water temperatures here all 12 months. Rapidly warming waters between the local islands in June bring these magnificent creatures closer to shore to hunt, which makes June one of the best months of the year to get outside and watch dolphins.

Research on dolphins and their behaviors took off in the middle of the last century. The further scientists, like Jacques Cousteau, explored the biology and sociology of these animals, the more incredible findings were revealed. Dolphins were found to have unusually large brains, a complicated social structure, highly intelligent hunting techniques and a very interesting skin.

The rubbery skin of the dolphin is extremely sensitive. The area around their head, blowhole and beak has a really high concentration of nerve endings. This helps them perceive nearby prey in waters with low visibility. Their sensitive skin also factors into their social lives, which is why people often see related dolphins rubbing against one another. In rare cases, dolphin will also rub their bodies on rubber boats for a similar effect.

Dolphin skin is distinct from other mammals because it does not contain any sweat glands and is totally hairless. Beneath the thin outer

surface of skin cells is a thick layer of blubber, which con-tributes to their buoyan-cy and keeps

them warm in deeper cold water. Dolphins spend the majority of the day hunting fatty fish, which keep this blubber layer stocked.

Dolphins are renowned as incredibly fast swimmers, reaching recorded speeds of over 50 knots. For the most part, this is due to the large and powerful mus-cles that run the full length of their body. But their skin also contributes to this hydrody-namic performance, as it is covered in folds that direct

water to flow seamlessly over their bodies. The thin outer layer of skin is constantly flaking off and being replaced by new cells. In fact, dolphins replace all of their outer skin cells every two hours. This skin regeneration keeps the dolphin epidermis soft and sleek.

The skin on dolphins is just one of the amazing aspects of their biology and sociology. Get Outside dolphin watching this June and learn more about these fascinating creatures.

For more than 30 years, Outside Hilton Head has provided personalized adventures for all ages, from kayak, fishing, nature and dolphin tours to kids’ camps, history excursions, family outings and stand-up paddle boarding. Don’t miss the guided full moon kayak tour, which explores the saltmarsh. (843) 686-6996 or outsidehiltonhead.com.

These speedy swimmers don’t just have fins to

thank for their swiftness; their rubbery skin also

plays a big part.

Everyone can enjoy a game of golf at Palmetto Dunes, where there are an assortment of different activities and programs for families with kids of all ages – toddlers to teens.

In this game of opposites, where the harder you try the worse you are, it could be a good idea to get a little help from a patient coach. Because often what you believe should happen in the swing is the opposite of what happens in a good swing. When you aim left, the ball goes right. That’s why the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy has several clinics and lessons for everyone to try.

It’s a great way for newcomers and aspiring golfers alike to develop techniques through lessons, clin-ics, or by enrolling in one of the programs. You can enjoy it with the family by enrolling in the two-hour Family Class or the three-day Family Golf School, or get the kids swinging while they’re young with programs like “Little Swingers.”

This youth program gives kids an opportunity to learn a few songs that give direction and spend some time on the course, while Junior classes help older students secure the fundamentals and improve their technique.

Palmetto Dunes also offers one, two and three-day schools, and even a Lady’s Only Program that includes a supervised warm up, instruction with each golfer and 30 minutes of supervised play on the course.

Watch out for other bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists

RULES FOR THE ROAD:Please obey all traffic signals and pathway markings. Stop signs must be obeyed for safety. Bicycles are vehicles and must obey SC traffic laws.

Travel the pathways at speeds that allow for the safety of pedes trians and other users.

Never ride within the roadway against traffic. State law requires bicycles to drive like all other vehicles.

Please do not ride on roads where a pathway is available.

Please ride single file and keep a safe distance from other bicyclists.

WATCH OUT FOR MOTORISTS! Motorists must yield to pedestrians and bicyclists within marked crossings, but they may not see you.

Please yield to pedestrians. When resting or stopped, please move off the pathway.

Most sections of the pathways are not illuminated. If you must bike at night, please wear light-colored clothing or carry a flash light. Bicycles must have a red rear reflector and a headlight when biking at night.

When approaching slower pathway users from behind, please sound your warning device, or call out, “Passing on your left.” Always pass on the left.

Bicyclists should always wear a helmet, especially children 12 and under.

Make eye contact and use hand signals. Assume other bicyclists and motorists don’t see you. Hand signals tell motorists and other path users what you intend to do and will ensure everyone’s safe enjoyment of the pathways.

Be courteous, alert and predictable.

At low tide, the Island’s 12 miles of beaches are ideal for biking. Public beaches are indicated on the Island

Events’ Island Map.

Our map also shows the existing public pathways. Many kiosks are located

along the pathways with an Island-wide map on one side, and a localized map of

the area on the other.

Recreational PathwaysGuide

The Town of Hilton Head Island provides nearly 60 miles of public path ways and nature trails for

the enjoy ment of pedes trians and cyclists.

JUNE 17 — JULY 26

A hilariously reinvented send-up of the 80’s film, this irreverent musical adventure spins along to the addictive

original hit score of chart-topping tunes including the music of Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John.

The lovely Greek muse Kira encourages an uninspired artist, Sonny, to build the first roller disco! When she accidentally

falls in love with him, much to her jealous sister-muses’ dismay, chaos and fun abound, skate wheels turn and disco balls twirl. This delightful fun-for-the-whole-family musical

will skate its way right into your heart!
