HILTON HEAD, SC--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2014) - Summer is in full swing, which means travelers are seeking a spot of soft sand to call their own. While beautiful beaches can be found in exotic destinations around the world, beach-goers will find that the United States offers plenty of its own. After a month of voting by readers of USA Today and 10Best, the Best U.S. Islands have been chosen, with Hilton Head rounding out the list at number 10.
The Hilton Head Marriott Resort & Spa offers the opportunity to experience this top destination first-hand, with an oceanfront setting that's as beautiful as it is convenient. The small island, only 12 miles long and 5 miles wide, is appealing to travelers of all interests, from those looking to hike, bike or golf in Hilton Head Island to others who prefer a relaxing day on the beach or at the spa.
The best the island has to offer is available at this family-friendly Hilton Head resort . The Atlantic Ocean is just steps away, where visitors can settle into the sand or head out on the water for adrenaline-pumping activities. The hotel's indoor and outdoor pools offer alternatives when the ocean's too cold or rough, and its European-style spa is the perfect place to work out kinks after a day of outdoor activities or an intense afternoon in the fitness center.
Golf is one of the top attractions in Hilton Head, and this hotel's Palmetto Dunes Golf Club features three championship courses designed by Arthur Hills, George Fazio and Robert Trent Jones, respectively. Great food is also part of the experience here, and the resort offers four venues that all take advantage of the oceanfront location. At The Cafe, diners can enjoy modern American cuisine, while Conroy's highlights fresh seafood including crab cakes, shrimp and salmon. Casual dining can be found at Ocean Blu, offering quick bites such as sandwiches, and the pool/beachside Liquid, serving cocktails, beer and light snacks.
