sunsets and Saltwater
Hilton Head Island is a barrier Island surrounded by saltwater. At dawn, the sunrise is best viewed from the twelve miles of beach on the Island’s eastern flank. The experience is shared by dolphins and morning walkers, shorebirds and shrimpers. At twilight, the show moves to the western side of the Island as the sun settles over Calibogue Sound, the Intracoastal Waterway, and spectacular Spartina marshes. Boats come home to dock and the Herons and Egrets come home to roost. With the change of seasons and the ebb and flow of the seven-foot tides, each sunrise and sunset seems totally unique, maybe because it is.
