Hilton Head in April is often very busy but still not as crowded as during the summer. Although spring break, Easter weekend (during the years when it falls in April) and the week of the golf tournament bring increasing numbers of visitors to Hilton Head Island, it should still be possible to find reasonable prices on accommodation.
The RBC Heritage golf tournament is the big April event in Hilton Head, but there are usually various other events on offer, from spring concerts at Shelter Cove Harbour to Easter events and other spring celebrations, and a weekend art market at Honey Horn. At nearby Bluffton, you can enjoy the annual Taste of Bluffton food festival.
April weather in Hilton Head is usually good, although some variability still remains. You can generally expect warm weather and plenty of sun, albeit with a possibility of cooler weather. Rain is usually in the form of brief showers.
By April, water activities and boat charters should be running as usual. Golf is a popular activity, as is biking, either on Hilton Head’s miles of bike paths or the beach. Family-friendly activities include mini golf, ziplining, kayak tours and dolphin watching.
Off the island there are many more things to do in nearby Bluffton, Beaufort, and St Helena and Hunting Islands. Savannah, about an hour away by car (or boat) is also a great day trip out of Hilton Head.
