Fishing
South Carolina in general is a great place to go deep sea fishing, and Hilton Head offers several places where you can charter a boat and take a guided excursion. Outcast Sport Fishing and Mighty Mako Sport Fishing Charters are two such companies. They will help even the least experienced fisherman land a big catch as well as work with kids for a family experience. There are also party boats for charter that allow a bit more room for movement for children, but they are not necessarily the best fishing boats. Boats are available for half and full day charters, and the ones more conducive to sportfishing can usually hold between four and eight individuals.

Golf
If you are a golfer and in Hilton Head, you really must try to play at least one round before you leave. There are many resorts and courses, such as Palmetto Dunes. Palmetto offers three different courses, one of which has a hole right on the ocean. The only other course with the opportunity to golf by the sea is at the Sea Pines Resort on the Harbour Town Golf Links. This course was ranked one of the top 20 courses in the country by "Golf Digest." The resort also has two other courses to try out.
