Hi ,

Ever had one of those spontaneous travel opportunities that turns into a core memory? That’s exactly what happened to me when I found myself with a free day near coastal Georgia… so I rented a car, booked a hotel, and drove 3 hours to Hilton Head Island.

Yep—just for 24 hours.
And honestly? It was so worth it.

Here’s what I managed to squeeze into my quick trip:

✅ A seafood lunch at the iconic Salty Dog Cafe​
✅ An 8-mile sunrise run along the beach

✅ Live music, wine, and peach piña coladas
✅ Exploring Harbour Town, beach photos galore, and more!

It was a whirlwind of southern charm, coastal breezes, and food I’m still dreaming about. If you’re ever in the area—even just for a day—Hilton Head is 100% worth the detour.

Want all the details, photos, and tips (like how to skip the $9 gate fee at Harbour Town)?
I put together a full blog post for you here:

Whether you’re planning your own Hilton Head adventure or just need a little wanderlust boost—I’m glad you’re here.

Talk soon,
