Wildlife
On Hilton Head Island, we take the business of protecting our beautiful environment seriously. The Island wildlife is abundant and can be a part of your vacation experience. To follow are a few important things to remember when visiting.
- Drive carefully, especially at night, watch for “eye shine” at the edge of the roads.
- Bag and remove all litter, especially when near the water. Plastic waste materials are especially lethal to dolphins.
- Do not feed, tease or taunt alligators. They can charge and become aggressive when provoked.
