This is a great art gallery to visit. We've been there many times & keep going back. They feature Wyland & many artists with similar tastes. Not just paintings, also sell much sculpture art. Even if you don't want to buy - it's worth the trip just to look!Julie & Clay are wonderful owners and always make you feel welcome!!

Nash Gallery

Reviewed By DianeFoodie - San Antonio, United States

Always the skeptic, I wondered how an art gallery could garner a solid 5 star rating. I knew right away why as I walked toward and then through the door of this unique gallery chocked full of things that made me day “oohhh!” and “aaahhhh” and “Look at this!” A wonderful collection of colorful, creative art to please every taste and every space in your home! Check it out, support local artists and bring home a lovely memory from a beautiful spot!

The Silver Garden Gallery

Silver and goldsmiths creating custom jewelry since 2006. Design, create and repurpose of jewelry to your specs. Full line of repairs on sterling and gold jewelry. Lowcountry Art Gallery featuring 40 local artists. Come for the jewelry...stay for the art. Nationally recognized recently with acceptance into The 2019 Biennale National juried art Show. Congratulations to Jim on this achievement.

This little gem is a step above all big jewelers ... they strive on biblical philosophy ... and they have awesome silver items. The Bible speaks on certain biblical philosophies and Linda and Jim Saylor seem to have built their business on these terms. When God is your CEO ... you will always be on track. Jim repaired a few items for me and because they were minor repairs, he would not take any payment for them ... this is WHY I always seek out my HHI retailers for gifts, even when gifting others in far places. The Silver Garden, Chocolaté-by-the-Sea, Gifted, Pyramids (Sea Pines and Main Street-near HH Plantation) Louettés and Bay Breeze are some of my favorites ... check them out for great small gifts and personalized service.

Coastal Discovery Museum

If the beach gets boring, families head to this interactive museum to learn about the history and wildlife of sea islands.

Reviewed By EllenJ503 - Hilton Head, United States

When we were tourists, we never visited Honey Horn. We missed a lot. Now it is a must see place to visit and to take guests. There are nature tours, history tours, crabbing pots, lectures. displays, and a camellia garden to die for. Also public art, marsh tacky horses, and a lab in which young people can learn about the wildlife, fauna, and all that makes the lowcountry special. Although there is a charge for the tours, entrance to the site itself is free and self guided pamphlets are available. On some days, you can see skilled Gullah weavers at work.

The Sandbox Interactive Children's Museum

Reviewed By NoahsGMa - Little Ferry, United States

So it's a rainy Saturday and I have my 2 grandkids, boy- 8, girl-5, in a small apartment. What to do? A quick Google search and I find 2 nearby Sandbox locations. I show the kids photos on the website and they're excited to go. Perfect choice! It's a 2 story playroom! Costumes, tea sets, play food and money, a real airplane cockpit; blocks, books, stuffed toys, arts and crafts, a pirate ship -everything to keep kids happily amused for at least 2 hours. Place is clean, staff is lovely, cost is reasonable. There are family bathrooms with changing stations, and even snacks for sale. Available for parties too. We visited the Hilton Head location. Kids loved it and would love to go back!

La Belle Image Fine Art Gallery

La Belle Image is proud to present you the work of three of the best artist-painters in the world. The paintings you will see on our walls will enchant and touch you by their beauty and serenity. Our curators welcome you warmly and will be happy to answer your questions. Richard Riverin was born in Quebec in 1942. Self taught, Richard developed a unique pallet-knife technique with his own special blend of paint. He became an artist at the age of 58 in Naples Florida where he owned an art gallery. Due to his financial difficulties, he could no longer buy art anymore; his only way out of this situation was to make the paintings himself. With 23 years as a gallery owner, he knew the trend of the art market and he knew that his work would have to surpass the work of those great artists being sold in all the Naples art galleries. He became one of the best selling artist in Naples, FL and then one of the most successful exhibitors at ArtExpo New York over many years.

Once you've reached the top of the lighthouse, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Lowcountry and the island's most elevated shopping experience at the Top of the Lighthouse Shoppe. Browse local arts and crafts, enjoy remarkable sunsets and don't forget to wave to your friends and family via the live webcam!

Really enjoyed our experience at the Harbour Town Lighthouse Museum! The climb of 114 steps is not that bad because every ten steps up, you get to stop and look around the exhibits on that level. Lots of interesting history and artifacts. Several machines on different levels that you can make pressed pennies for souvenirs. There's also a photobooth midway up. Gift stores at the bottom and top of the lighthouse with beautiful artwork, unique handcrafted items and much more. View from the top is beautiful! $8 admission into Sea Pines where Harbour Town is located, and $4.95-ish to climb the lighthouse. Reasonable price for a unique experience! Lots of gift shops around the yacht basin as well.
