Hilton Head Island is a resort community with full-time residents. The island was developed with a concern for nature. The Hilton Head Island Birding Trail is a unique experience around an island with a focus on natural areas. Because it is a resort community there are ample resources for organized tours and boating rentals. The birding trail lists parks and natural areas outside and within the gated communities but open to visitors. In many cases passes to gated communities can be easily arranged for visitors. Please be aware of the rules for each community. To reach Hilton Head Island drive east on Highway 278.
