Most visitors explore one island per day instead of traveling outside the area. Myrtle Beach. Both Hilton Head and the Myrtle Beach have a plethora of exciting beach activities, however there are some unique differences. On Myrtle Beach, you'll find beautiful beaches as well as many entertainment options like the popular Broadway at the Beach with shops, entertainment, restaurants, bars, and more.

The sand is also a bit harder here, which means that visitors and locals alike love to ride bikes along the shore as a fun family activity. Although most people travel to these destinations for the beach activities, both areas are also known for their golf courses. Avid golfers will enjoy a trip to either location, but Hilton Head is known to have more than 40 championship courses in the area.

There are 16 golf courses on the island and two more in close proximity in Bluffton, a small mainland town a few miles away.
Nags Head Links, as an example, with the back nine exposed to winds coming off Roanoke Sound can test even the best golfers, but even stretching the geographic reach of the Outer Banks to Grandy on the mainland, there are still only seven courses.
