A
great marriage between the environment and progress...
Charles Fraser's vision of Hilton Head Island has been passed through
the decades, and has been envied by developers around the world.
When you travel through the United States, almost all resort communities
are concrete jungles; Hilton Head Island will remain a timeless
masterpiece.
It
is impossible for a community like Hilton Head Island to grow and
continually prosper if not for the dedication of its people. Without
this dedication, the community would fall into the honky-tonk pattern
that many seaside communities acquire. This stewardship can be exemplified
in the Hilton Head Chamber of Commerce's Government Affairs Committee
which I am honored to serve on. It is a privilege to work with a
group of individuals that are the epicenter for Hilton Head Island's
future. We are charged with representing Hilton Head Island on the
local, state and national level. Visits to Columbia, SC to meet
with our state representatives and visits to Washington DC to meet
with our national representatives keeps the issues of Hilton Head
Island on the forefront with our legislators. This type of volunteerism
represents the generations of dedicated people that will keep Hilton
Head Island as pristine as it was envisioned forty years ago.
Hilton
Head Island is a truly blessed place. Every day on Hilton Head,
you can experience the beauty of the island and this exceptional
eco-system on Hilton Head Island. You can witness bottlenose
dolphins frolicking on the beach.
The marshes on Hilton Head are protected from any type of development
allowing hundreds of bird species to flourish here. Clamming
and oystering are two other truly exceptional activities to
participate in on beautiful Hilton Head Island.
The miles of leisure trails that are entwined through forest
preserves, conservancies, and |
|
neighborhoods are another unusual characteristic of Hilton Head Island.
You can navigate the entire island through the trail system.
There
are numerous tennis courts scattered throughout Hilton Head. Personally,
I take pleasure in participating in my weekly tennis groups; it
is a wonderful opportunity to create new relationships with people
with a common interest. Many visitors come to Hilton Head strictly
for the world-renowned golf courses. On Hilton Head, there are 26
golf courses. The Verizon Heritage PGA Golf Tournament takes place
each Spring on the world class Harbour Town golf course in Sea Pines
Resort. You too can play Harbour Town or one of its two sister courses
Ocean or Pete Dye's newest masterpiece Heron Point in Sea Pines
Plantation.
Whether
you are into biking, golf, kayaking, sailing, yachting, relaxing,
bird watching or any number of the 101 things to do on Hilton Head
Island, you will have realized that the true reason you chose Hilton
Head Island is because of the people, because without the people,
the Grass would not be Greener on Hilton Head Island.
So
what are you waiting for
